Offset QLabel from widget center.

[Aidan34]

I'm trying to have a QLabel consistently positioned at a fixed vertical offset from the center of a parent widget, although I'm having trouble achieving this with layouts.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

#include "container.h"

container::container(QWidget *parent)
    : QWidget{parent}
{

    layout = new QGridLayout();

    label = new QLabel(this);
    label->setText("My Label");
    label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);

    layout->addWidget(label, 0, 0);
    setLayout(layout);

    //label->move(0,-30); Something like this
    square = new QPolygon();
    int side = 100;
    *square << QPoint(-side, -side) << QPoint(-side, side)
             << QPoint(side, side) << QPoint(side, -side);
}

void container::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)
{
    drawSquare();
}

void container::drawSquare()
{
    QPainter painter(this);
    painter.translate(this->width()/2, this->height()/2);
    painter.setPen(Qt::NoPen);
    painter.setBrush(Qt::green);
    painter.drawPolygon(*square);
}

layout = new QGridLayout();
layout->setContentsMargins( 0, 40, 0, 0 );
.....
layout->addWidget(label, 0, 0, Qt::AlignTop);

@JoeCFD That in combination with setMaximumSize seems to work, thanks!
