Syntax : label.setStyleSheet("border :3px black; border-style : dashed") Argument : It takes string as argument Action performed : It makes the border dashed.

Code :

Python3 1==

# importing the required libraries

from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()


        # set the title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python")

        # setting  the geometry of window
        self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400)


        # creating a label widget
        self.label_1 = QLabel("Normal border", self)

        # moving position
        self.label_1.move(100, 100)

        # setting up the border and padding
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;")

        # resizing label
        self.label_1.resize(100, 80)

        # creating a label widget
        self.label_2 = QLabel("Dashed border", self)

        # setting up the dashed border
        self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;
                                    border-style : dashed")

        # moving position
        self.label_2.move(230, 200)

        # resizing the label
        self.label_2.resize(100, 80)

        # show all the widgets
        self.show()


# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output : pyqt-dashed-dotted-border-label
