PyQt5 - How to add padding to a Label?

In PyQt5, you can add padding to a QLabel by using the setStyleSheet method to define CSS properties for the label. Padding can be added with the CSS property padding or specifically for each side using padding-top, padding-bottom, padding-left, and padding-right.

Here's a simple example that shows how you can add padding to a QLabel:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QVBoxLayout, QWidget app = QApplication(sys.argv) # Create the main window window = QWidget() window.setWindowTitle('QLabel Padding Example') # Create a label with some text label = QLabel('This is a label with padding.') # Use setStyleSheet to add padding # Here, adding 20px padding to all sides label.setStyleSheet("QLabel { padding: 20px; }") # Create a layout and add the label to the layout layout = QVBoxLayout() layout.addWidget(label) # Set the layout on the main window window.setLayout(layout) # Show the window window.show() # Start the event loop sys.exit(app.exec_())

In the example above, setStyleSheet("QLabel { padding: 20px; }") adds 20 pixels of padding to all sides of the label. If you want different padding for each side, you can specify each side individually:

label.setStyleSheet(""" QLabel { padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; } """)

This will give the label 10 pixels of padding on the top and bottom and 20 pixels on the left and right.

Remember that when using setStyleSheet, you're defining inline styles, and this will override any global styles set for QLabel elements within your application. If you're using a stylesheet file or global styles, you will need to ensure that your inline styles are compatible.
