PyQt5 - Get geometry of the Push button

In PyQt5, getting the geometry of a widget, including a push button, involves retrieving its position and size within its parent window. The geometry of a widget is given by a QRect object, which holds its x and y coordinates (relative to its parent), as well as its width and height.

To get the geometry of a QPushButton, you can use the geometry() method of the widget. Here's an example demonstrating how to do this:

Example: Retrieving Geometry of a QPushButton

First, ensure you have PyQt5 installed. If not, you can install it via pip:

pip install pyqt5

Then, you can create a small PyQt application with a push button to demonstrate getting its geometry:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton

class Example(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # Create a QPushButton
        self.button = QPushButton('Click Me', self)
        self.button.move(50, 50)

        # Resize and show the window
        self.setGeometry(300, 300, 300, 220)
        self.setWindowTitle('Get Button Geometry')
        self.show()

        # Get the geometry of the button
        self.get_button_geometry()

    def get_button_geometry(self):
        geometry = self.button.geometry()
        print(f"X: {geometry.x()}, Y: {geometry.y()}, Width: {geometry.width()}, Height: {geometry.height()}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this script:

  • A QPushButton named button is created and added to the window.
  • When the window is shown, self.get_button_geometry() is called.
  • self.button.geometry() retrieves the geometry of the button, which includes its x and y coordinates within the parent widget, as well as its width and height.
  • The geometry details are printed to the console.

When you run this script, it will display a window with a button and print the geometry details of the button to the console. The move and setGeometry methods are used to position the button and window, respectively, for demonstration purposes.
