PyQt5 QCalendarWidget - Accessing Geometry

Last Updated : 31 Jan, 2022

In this article we will see how we can get the geometry of the QCalendarWidget. Geometry basically refer to the position and the size of the calendar. We can change the size of calendar with the help of resize method and position can be changed with the help of move method. Combining these two methods made the geometry of calendar. We can change/set geometry to the calendar with the help of setGeometry method.

In order to do this we will use geometry method with the QCalendarWidget object. Syntax : calendar.geometry() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It return QRect object

Below is the implementation

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 650, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):
        
        # creating a QCalendarWidget object
        self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self)

        # setting geometry to the calendar
        self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250)

        # setting cursor
        self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)

        # creating label to show the properties
        self.label = QLabel(self)

        # setting geometry to the label
        self.label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60)

        # making label multi line
        self.label.setWordWrap(True)

        # getting geometry
        value = self.calendar.geometry()

        # setting text to the label
        self.label.setText("Geometry : " + str(value))


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

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
