Detailed Description#

Normally, you don’t need to use this class directly. Qt’s built-in layout managers provide the following functions for manipulating empty space in layouts:

Class

Functions

QHBoxLayout

addSpacing() , addStretch() , insertSpacing() , insertStretch()

QGridLayout

setRowMinimumHeight() , setRowStretch() , setColumnMinimumWidth() , setColumnStretch()

QLayout QWidgetItem spacerItem()

Class	Functions
`QHBoxLayout`	`addSpacing()` , `addStretch()` , `insertSpacing()` , `insertStretch()`
`QGridLayout`	`setRowMinimumHeight()` , `setRowStretch()` , `setColumnMinimumWidth()` , `setColumnStretch()`

__init__(w, h[, hData=QSizePolicy.Minimum[, vData=QSizePolicy.Minimum]])#

Parameters:

w – int
h – int
hData – Policy
vData – Policy

Constructs a spacer item with preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

changeSize(w, h[, hData=QSizePolicy.Minimum[, vData=QSizePolicy.Minimum]])#

Parameters:

w – int
h – int
hData – Policy
vData – Policy

Changes this spacer item to have preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

Note that if changeSize() is called after the spacer item has been added to a layout, it is necessary to invalidate the layout in order for the spacer item’s new size to take effect.

invalidate()

sizePolicy()#

Return type:: QSizePolicy

Returns the size policy of this item.
