PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting ascent of the font

Last Updated : 26 May, 2020

In this article we will see how we can get the ascent of the spin box's font i.e text. The ascent of a font is the distance from the baseline to the highest position characters extend to. In practice, some font designers break this rule, e.g. when they put more than one accent on top of a character, or to accommodate an unusual character in an exotic language, so it is possible (though rare) that this value will be too small. In order to do this we use ascent method with the spin box's QFontMetrics object.

Syntax : font_metrics.ascents() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns integer

Below is the implementation

Python3 1==

# 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, 600, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

        # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):
        # creating spin box
        self.spin = QSpinBox(self)

        # setting geometry to spin box
        self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40)

        # setting range to the spin box
        self.spin.setRange(0, 999999)

        # setting prefix to spin
        self.spin.setPrefix("PREFIX ")

        # setting suffix to spin
        self.spin.setSuffix(" SUFFIX")

        # creating a label
        label = QLabel(self)

        # making label multi line
        label.setWordWrap(True)

        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 60)

        # getting font metrics
        f_metrics = self.spin.fontMetrics()

        # getting ascent
        ascent = f_metrics.ascent()

        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Ascent : " + str(ascent))


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

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

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

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting the size of the font

In this article we will see how we can get size of the spin box's font i.e text. In order to get the size object we have to get the QFontMetrics object of the size box to get the size. The size will be in pixels. In order to do this we use size method with the spin box's QFontMetrics object. Syntax

PyQt5 - Getting the Color Count in QSpinBox

In this article we will see how we can get the color count of the spin box, color count is basically number of different colors available for the spin box. There exist a variety of color count that tells the possible color number that can be set to the spin box. In order to do this we use colorCount

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting the frame geometry

In this article we will see how we can get the frame geometry of the spin box. Frame geometry is the spin box geometry relative to its parent including any window frame. By default, frame geometry of the spin box contains a value that depends on the user's platform and screen geometry. In order to d

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting height of font

In this article we will see how we can get the height of the spin box's font i.e its text. Height is the vertical length of the text. Height of font is always equal to ascent +descent +1 (the 1 is for the base line). In order to do this we use height method with the spin box's QFontMetrics object. S

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting Stretch factor

In this article we will see how we can set the stretch factor to the text of the spin box, stretching of text means expanding of text without changing their height only increasing their width. We can change the stretch factor with the help of setStretch method. The minimum stretch factor is 1, and t

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting base size

In this article we will see how we can set the base size to the spin box, base size is used to calculate a proper spin box size if the spin box defines sizeIncrement. By default, for a newly-created spin box, this property contains a size with zero width and height.In order to set base size we use s

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting Content Rectangle

In this article we will see how we can get the content rectangle of the spin box, content rectangle is the area that is inside the spin box margins. In order to get the content rectangle of spin box we use contentsRect method with the spin box object. Syntax : spin_spin.contentsRect() Argument : It

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting the line width of the font

In this article we will see how we can get the line width of the spin box font. Line width is the width of the underline and strikeout lines, adjusted for the point size of the font. In order to do this we use lineWidth method with the spin box's QFontMetrics object. Syntax : font_metrics.lineWidth(

PyQt5 QSpinBox - Getting current geometry

In this article we will see how we can get the current geometry of the spin box. Geometry is basically the position as well as the size of the spin box. Setting geometry to the spin box can change its size as well as its position. We use setGeometry method to set or change the geometry of the spin b
