qtbricks.widgets module

Small Qt widgets for general use with Qt GUIs.

There is a number of small widgets that can be created with a few lines of code from existing Qt widgets. However, it is often convenient to have these widgets as separate classes.

Typical examples include horizontal and vertical lines that are basically one-dimensional instances of QFrame.

Widgets

Currently, the following widgets are contained in this module:

QHLine

Horizontal line for Qt GUIs
QVLine

Vertical line for Qt GUIs

Module documentation

class qtbricks.widgets.QHLine

Bases: QFrame

Horizontal line for Qt GUIs.

Sometimes there is the need to add a horizontal line to a Qt layout. As a horizontal line is nothing else than a QFrame object, this class provides a convenient shortcut.

Examples

Suppose you want to add a horizontal line to your grid layout

from PySide6 import QtWidgets
import qtbricks

layout = QtWidgets.QGridLayout()
layout.addWidget(qtbricks.widgets.QHLine(), 4, 0, 1, 2)

Here, the horizontal line will span two columns of your grid layout.
