I got help from StackOverflow, and the "above example":http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/index.php?title=OrientationButton was translated to Python properly. Now I need to figure out what it's really doing :)
@#!/usr/bin/env python
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys
class RotatedButton(QtGui.QPushButton):
def init(self, text, parent, orientation = "west"):
super(RotatedButton,self).init(text, parent)
self.orientation = orientation
def paintEvent(self, event):
painter = QtGui.QStylePainter(self)
painter.rotate(90)
painter.translate(0, -1 * self.width());
painter.drawControl(QtGui.QStyle.CE_PushButton, self.getSyleOptions())
def minimumSizeHint(self):
size = super(RotatedButton, self).minimumSizeHint()
size.transpose()
return size
def sizeHint(self):
size = super(RotatedButton, self).sizeHint()
size.transpose()
return size
def getSyleOptions(self):
options = QtGui.QStyleOptionButton()
options.initFrom(self)
size = options.rect.size()
size.transpose()
options.rect.setSize(size)
options.features = QtGui.QStyleOptionButton.None
if self.isFlat():
options.features |= QtGui.QStyleOptionButton.Flat
if self.menu():
options.features |= QtGui.QStyleOptionButton.HasMenu
if self.autoDefault() or self.isDefault():
options.features |= QtGui.QStyleOptionButton.AutoDefaultButton
if self.isDefault():
options.features |= QtGui.QStyleOptionButton.DefaultButton
if self.isDown() or (self.menu() and self.menu().isVisible()):
options.state |= QtGui.QStyle.State_Sunken
if self.isChecked():
options.state |= QtGui.QStyle.State_On
if not self.isFlat() and not self.isDown():
options.state |= QtGui.QStyle.State_Raised
options.text = self.text()
options.icon = self.icon()
options.iconSize = self.iconSize()
return options
class Main(QtGui.QFrame):
def init(self):
QtGui.QFrame.init(self)
self.application = QtCore.QCoreApplication.instance()
self.layout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
self.button = RotatedButton("Hello", self, orientation="west")
self.layout.addWidget(self.button)
self.setLayout(self.layout)
if name == 'main':
application = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
application.main = Main()
application.main.show()
sys.exit(application.exec_())
