PyQt5 – Capsule shaped Progress Bar
In this article we will see how to create capsule shaped progress bar. By default when we create progress bar, it is in rectangular shape although we can change the shape with the help of resize
method. But this will only allows to change the shape from rectangle to square. Below is representation of normal progress bar vs the capsule shaped progress bar.
In order to do so we have to change the radius of the border of both background and the bar of progress bar, this is done by changing the CSS style sheet, below is the style sheet code.
QProgressBar { border: solid grey; border-radius: 15px; color: black; } QProgressBar::chunk { background-color: #05B8CC; border-radius :15px; }
This style sheet is used which setStyleSheet
method, below is the implementation.
# 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 background color to window # self.setStyleSheet("background-color : yellow") # 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 progress bar bar = QProgressBar( self ) # setting geometry to progress bar bar.setGeometry( 200 , 100 , 200 , 30 ) # setting the value bar.setValue( 70 ) # setting alignment to center bar.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter) # setting background to color and radius # and bar color and bar radius bar.setStyleSheet( "QProgressBar" "{" "border: solid grey;" "border-radius: 15px;" " color: black; " "}" "QProgressBar::chunk " "{background-color: # 05B8CC;" "border-radius :15px;" "}" ) App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
