They can +display data and status information, receive user input, and provide a +container for other widgets that should be grouped together. A widget that is +not embedded in a parent widget is called a window. + + .. image:: images/parent-child-widgets.png + +The :class:`QWidget<PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget>` class provides the +basic capability to render to the screen, and to handle user input +events. All UI elements that Qt provides are either subclasses of +:class:`QWidget<PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget>` , or are used in +connection with a :class:`QWidget<PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget>` +subclass. Creating custom widgets is done by subclassing +:class:`QWidget<PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget>` or a suitable subclass and +reimplementing the virtual event handlers. + + * :ref:`Window and Dialog Widgets<Window-and-Dialog-Widgets>` + * :ref:`Application Main Window<Application-Main-Window>` + * :ref:`Dialog Windows<Dialog-Windows>` + * :ref:`Keyboard Focus in Widgets<Keyboard-Focus-in-Widgets>` + +Styles +^^^^^^ + +:ref:`Styles<Styles-and-Style-Aware-Widgets>` draw on behalf of +widgets and encapsulate the look and feel of a GUI. Qt's built-in +widgets use the :class:`QStyle<PySide6.QtWidgets.QStyle>` class to +perform nearly all of their drawing, ensuring that they look exactly +like the equivalent native widgets. + +:ref:`Qt Style Sheets<Qt-Style-Sheets>` are a powerful mechanism that +allows you to customize the appearance of widgets, in addition to what +is already possible by subclassing +:class:`QStyle<PySide6.QtWidgets.QStyle>` . + +Layouts +^^^^^^^ + +:ref:`Layouts<Layout-Management>` are an elegant and flexible way to +automatically arrange child widgets within their container. Each +widget reports its size requirements to the layout through the +:meth:`sizeHint<PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget.sizeHint>` and +:meth:`sizePolicy<PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget.sizePolicy>` properties, +and the layout distributes the available space accordingly. + +:ref:`Qt Widgets Designer<using_ui_files>` is a powerful tool for interactively +creating and arranging widgets in layouts. + +Model/View Classes +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The :ref:`model/view<Model-View-Programming>` architecture provides +classes that manage the way data is presented to the user. Data-driven +applications which use lists and tables are structured to separate the +data and view using models, views, and delegates. + + .. image:: images/windows-treeview.png + +Graphics View +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The :ref:`Graphics View Framework<Graphics-View-Framework>` is for +managing and interacting with a large number of custom-made 2D +graphical items, and a view widget for visualizing the items, with +support for zooming and rotation. + + .. image:: images/graphicsview-items.png + +Using the Module +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +To include the definitions of modules classes, use the following +directive: + +:: + + import PySide6.QtWidgets |
