Pyqt: Graphics view next to another widget
You are forgetting to call the setLayout method after you've created the layouts. So in your mainWindowWidget.initScene method it should say: self.layout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(self) self.setLayout(self.layout) Also add a setLayout to the sidePannel.initUI method and it should work. BTW: there is no need to define all your attributes as class attributes....
Heights of QPushButton and QLineEdit differ under OS-X
I've found a workaround that works for me. When using a QToolButton instead of a QPushbutton the button has the same height as the line editor.
Inserting multiple QCheckBox into QTableWidget odd rows
python,pyqt,pyside,qtablewidget,qtablewidgetitem
This basic script creates an UI containing a 160*10 QTable and a QPushButton. Every odd row, a checkbox is added in the cell of the 10th column. Clicking on the button displays a list of the state of all checkboxes. States: 0: Unchecked 2: Checked There is a state 1...
PyQt SimpleHTTPServer: GUI freezes on starting server
python,multithreading,pyqt,multiprocessing,simplehttpserver
The issue with your examples that lock the GUI is that rather than passing a reference to the function when creating the thread, you are actually running the function immediately and the thread is never created. For example, you should be doing: server_thread=threading.Thread(target=start_server) Note that I drop the brackets on...
Still Freezing when using PyQt4 Thread
Your thread is deliberately emitting more than one signal to execute the play() method in the main thread. Your play method must be running for a reasonable amount of time and blocking the main thread (it for instance has a time.sleep in it). You probably need to move the play...
How can I center a label in the center of a QWizardPage?
Add your label in between two spacer items. Your vertical layout should also be laid out in its parent widget so it takes full size of the parent. QSpacerItem* verticalSpacer1 = new QSpacerItem(20, 40, QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Expanding); label = new QLabel(Form); label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter); QSpacerItem* verticalSpacer2 = new QSpacerItem(20, 40, QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Expanding); verticalLayout->addItem(verticalSpacer1);...
Casting a QObject subclass instance
All the methods Screenshot inherits from QPixmap will return a QPixmap, so you need to explicitly create and return an instance of Screenshot instead. The only real issue is to avoid inefficient copying. However, QPixmap provides a very fast copy-constructor for doing just that, so all you need is something...

How to save a treeview as pdf in PySide/PyQt?
According to the docs, the variant of QWidget.render that has a QPainter as its first parameter expects a mandatory targetOffset of type QPoint as its second parameter. If I add an empty point it works for me (although the tree widget is printed very small). painter.begin(printer) try: self.view.render(painter, QtCore.QPoint()) finally:...
PyQt4: set a default font?
Neither Qt nor PyQt sets a default font: It's taken from the system settings. Overriding the user's fonts is very poor design, but if you must do it, use QApplication.setFont.
Is a mutex really necessary in this piece of code?
I would leave it where it is. If you're unlucky your reset/increment is performed by one thread in the small time window just after the countdown thread reads the counter and before it writes back the result of its decrement. It would then overwrite the updated value without even seeing...
Wrong widget order using vbox layout PyQt
The problem is because you are adding self.pNames label to layout twice. #portion of your code ... self.layout.addWidget(self.pNames) # here self.layout.addWidget(self.polyNameInput) self.layout.addWidget(self.pNames) # and here self.layout.addWidget(self.polyTypeName) self.layout.addWidget(polyType) self.layout.addStretch() ...

How do I compile QScintilla and Eric6 on Linux?
python,linux,compilation,pyqt,qscintilla
The main problem is that you are linking against Qt4 rather than Qt5. This is why the QAbstractScrollArea and QPrinter headers are reported as missing, and why you later get the undefined symbol error. QScintilla uses a features file to control compile-time configuration, and its sources need to be patched...

Refreshing a QWidget
To update the widget, you should repaint() it, but calling repaint() directly is not very good, so try: widget.update() From doc: This function does not cause an immediate repaint; instead it schedules a paint event for processing when Qt returns to the main event loop. This permits Qt to optimize...
Qt (PyQt) globally available slots?
How about implement singleton, that allow communication between components and gui, something like: #include <statuscontroller.h> StatusController::instance()->setStatus("Status string"); In this case only StatusController contain pointer to QStatusBar and available globally in gui thread. With QObject as base class for StatusController you could use signals and slots....
How often are objects copied when passing across PyQt signal/slot connections?

pyqt gui locked when calling cython function from QThread.run
python,user-interface,pyqt,cython,qthread
Due to the GIL (global interpretter lock) only one Python instance can execute at once. How Python chooses to share time between threads depends a bit on the version of Python but it's substantially based on how many Python bytecodes have been executed (see https://docs.python.org/3.0/library/sys.html#sys.setcheckinterval). I'd guess that since Cython...
Port C++ class to PyQt
The code defines a constructor for the DocumentWidget class, which inherits QLabel and requires a QWidget as parent. The equivalent PyQt code would be: from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui class DocumentWidget(QtGui.QLabel): def __init__(self, parent): super(DocumentWidget, self).__init__(parent) # or QtGui.QLabel.__init__(self, parent) self.currentPage = -1 self.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter) ...
PyQT4: Adding combobox in Qtableview

How to get groups and roles of a QPalette in PyQt/PySide?
This can be done with standard python introspection techniques: for name in dir(QtGui.QPalette): if isinstance(getattr(QtGui.QPalette, name), QtGui.QPalette.ColorGroup): print(name) and the same can be done with QtGui.QPalette.ColorRole. But note that this will produce a few extra items that you might not be expecting. There are NColorGroups and NColorRoles. which give the...

Pyqt Embedding Graphics object in Widget
Your issue is that you don't specify a parent for the QGridLayout (in the mainWindowWidget class), so it isn't attached to a widget. This results in the layout (and all widgets contained within it) not being visible. Adding a parent to the layout reveals a second problem in that you...
PyQt4 - How to shrink the layout on Mac OSX?
To reduce the space between the widgets you can use QBoxLayout.setSpacing(). About the size of the buttons, you could try to adjust it by setting the margin or padding with style sheets.

PyQt 3.3.6: How to align text in a table?
I understand that the characters used for the thousands separator and the decimal mark may differ between locales, but surely no locale could sensibly interpret 5.5.5 as a number?

What's the difference between @pyqtSignature() and @pyqtSlot() pyqt decorators
The pyqtSignature decorator is part of the old-style signal and slot syntax, which was replaced by the new-style signal and slot syntax in PyQt-4.5. Both decorators serve the same purpose, which is to explicitly mark a python method as a Qt slot and specify a C++ signature for it (most...
