Tab Widget - Tab Height to accommodate 2-line tab names?

Alabaster

PyQt4 and/or PySide / Python 3 / Windows

Is it possible to resize the height of a tab bar in order to fit 2-lines of text in the tab names?

(Better yet, is it possible to have a tab bar resize its height dynamically based on the number of lines of text?)

Thanks

You could do this using style sheets to get a static height, however the following method shows how to have the tab bar dynamically size to the text by inserting QLabels:

@
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

class TabWidget(QTabWidget):
def addTab(self, widget, text):
i=QTabWidget.addTab(self, widget, "")
self.tabBar().setTabButton(i, QTabBar.LeftSide, QLabel(text, self))

class Widget(QWidget):
def init(self, parent=None):
QWidget.init(self, parent)

    l=QVBoxLayout(self)

    t=TabWidget(self)
    t.addTab(QWidget(self), "Tab\n1")
    t.addTab(QWidget(self), "Tab 2")
    t.addTab(QWidget(self), "Tab\n3")

    l.addWidget(t)

if name=="main":
from sys import argv, exit
a=QApplication(argv)
w=Widget()
w.show()
w.raise_()
exit(a.exec_())
@

Hope this helps.
