  • def getFont (, initial[, parent=None])
  • def getFont ([, parent=None])
  • def getFont (ok, initial, parent, title, options)

Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog class provides a dialog widget for selecting a font.

A font dialog is created through one of the static PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.getFont() functions.

Examples:

(ok, font) = QFontDialog.getFont(QFont("Helvetica [Cronyx]", 10), self)
if ok:
    # the user clicked OK and font is set to the font the user selected
else:
    # the user canceled the dialog; font is set to the initial
    # value, in this case Helvetica [Cronyx], 10

The dialog can also be used to set a widget’s font directly:

myWidget.setFont(QFontDialog.getFont(0, myWidget.font()))

If the user clicks OK the font they chose will be used for myWidget, and if they click Cancel the original font is used.

class PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog([parent=None])
class PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog(initial[, parent=None])
Parameters:

Constructs a standard font dialog.

Use PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.setCurrentFont() to set the initial font attributes.

The parent parameter is passed to the PySide.QtGui.QDialog constructor.

Constructs a standard font dialog with the given parent and specified initial color.

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.FontDialogOption

This enum specifies various options that affect the look and feel of a font dialog.

Constant Description
QFontDialog.NoButtons Don’t display OK and Cancel buttons. (Useful for “live dialogs”.)
QFontDialog.DontUseNativeDialog Use Qt’s standard font dialog on the Mac instead of Apple’s native font panel. (Currently, the native dialog is never used, but this is likely to change in future Qt releases.)
PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.currentFont()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QFont

This property holds the current font of the dialog..

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.currentFontChanged(font)
Parameters:fontPySide.QtGui.QFont
PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.fontSelected(font)
Parameters:fontPySide.QtGui.QFont
static PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.getFont(ok, initial, parent, title, options)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtGui.QFont

static PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.getFont(initial, parent, title)
Parameters:
Return type:

PyTuple

This is an overloaded function.

static PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.getFont(initial[, parent=None])
Parameters:
Return type:

PyTuple

This is an overloaded function.

static PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.getFont([parent=None])
Parameters:parentPySide.QtGui.QWidget
Return type:PyTuple

This is an overloaded function.

Executes a modal font dialog and returns a font.

If the user clicks OK , the selected font is returned. If the user clicks Cancel , the Qt default font is returned.

The dialog is constructed with the given parent . If the ok parameter is not-null, the value it refers to is set to true if the user clicks OK , and false if the user clicks Cancel .

Example:

(ok, font) = QFontDialog.getFont(self)
if ok:
    # font is set to the font the user selected
else:
    # the user canceled the dialog; font is set to the default
    # application font, QApplication.font()

Warning

Do not delete parent during the execution of the dialog. If you want to do this, you should create the dialog yourself using one of the PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog constructors.

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.open(receiver, member)
Parameters:

This is an overloaded function.

Opens the dialog and connects its PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.fontSelected() signal to the slot specified by receiver and member .

The signal will be disconnected from the slot when the dialog is closed.

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.options()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.FontDialogOptions

This property holds the various options that affect the look and feel of the dialog.

By default, all options are disabled.

Options should be set before showing the dialog. Setting them while the dialog is visible is not guaranteed to have an immediate effect on the dialog (depending on the option and on the platform).

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.selectedFont()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QFont

Returns the font that the user selected by clicking the OK or equivalent button.

Note

This font is not always the same as the font held by the PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.currentFont() property since the user can choose different fonts before finally selecting the one to use.

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.setCurrentFont(font)
Parameters:fontPySide.QtGui.QFont

This property holds the current font of the dialog..

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.setOption(option[, on=true])
Parameters:

Sets the given option to be enabled if on is true; otherwise, clears the given option .

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.setOptions(options)
Parameters:optionsPySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.FontDialogOptions

This property holds the various options that affect the look and feel of the dialog.

By default, all options are disabled.

Options should be set before showing the dialog. Setting them while the dialog is visible is not guaranteed to have an immediate effect on the dialog (depending on the option and on the platform).

PySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.testOption(option)
Parameters:optionPySide.QtGui.QFontDialog.FontDialogOption
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if the given option is enabled; otherwise, returns false.
