The QLabel Widget
Understand how we add text and images to our window.
We'll cover the following
We will now use QLabel
widgets to add extra functionality to our projects. To display text, pictures, or movies, a QLabel
object serves as a non-editable placeholder. It can also label other widgets so their functions or titles can be specified. Plain text, hyperlinks, and rich text can all be displayed with QLabel
widgets.
Using the QLabel widget
First, we start by importing the necessary modules from QtWidgets
(QApplication
, QWidget
and, QLabel
), QtGui
(QPixmap
), and sys
. We must import the QtWidgets
class to create the window, and because we will be utilizing the QLabel
widget this time, we must include it in our import line. The QtGui
module needs to be imported this time as well. QtGui
handles numerous graphical aspects. A Qt class called QPixmap
is explicitly designed for displaying images on screens.
