PyQt5 QDial - Getting Orientation Property

In PyQt5, the QDial widget is a rounded range control, similar to the volume dial on some stereo systems. It can be oriented vertically or horizontally.

To get the orientation of a QDial widget, you can use the orientation() method, which will return either Qt.Horizontal or Qt.Vertical.

Here's a simple example illustrating how to use the orientation() method with a QDial:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QDial, QWidget from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt class AppDemo(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() mainWidget = QWidget(self) layout = QVBoxLayout() self.dial = QDial(self) self.dial.setOrientation(Qt.Vertical) # Setting the orientation to vertical self.button = QPushButton("Check Dial Orientation", self) layout.addWidget(self.dial) layout.addWidget(self.button) mainWidget.setLayout(layout) self.setCentralWidget(mainWidget) self.button.clicked.connect(self.checkOrientation) def checkOrientation(self): orientation = self.dial.orientation() if orientation == Qt.Horizontal: print("The dial's orientation is Horizontal.") else: print("The dial's orientation is Vertical.") app = QApplication(sys.argv) window = AppDemo() window.show() app.exec_() 

In this example, when you click on the "Check Dial Orientation" button, it will print out the orientation of the QDial. Since we set the orientation to vertical using self.dial.setOrientation(Qt.Vertical), the output will be "The dial's orientation is Vertical."
