About this e-book

This is Introduction to PyQt6 e-book. This e-book is an introductory tutorial for beginners.

This e-book covers the following:

• Basics

• Date and time

• QMainWindow

• Layout management

• Events

• Widgets

• Graphics

• Minesweeper

In the first chapter, we create our first programs. We create a simple window, define a shortcut, work with stylesheets or tooltips. The second chapter covers date and time. The examples demonstrate date and time arithmetic, show how to work with universal and local time, epochs, or daylight saving time.

The QMainWindow chapter covers the main application window. We learn how to create menus and toolbars. In the Layout Management chapter, we show how to use built-in layout management classes to lay out our widgets on the window.

The Events chapter focuses on application event management. We define events, the events and signals framework, and show to connect event handlers to various events.

In the Widgets chapter we cover basic UI widgets, including labels, buttons, sliders, and line edits.

In the Graphics chapter, we do some basic and more advanced painting. In the last chapter of this e-book, we create a simple clone of the Minesweeper game.

Layout management is considered to be one of the most difficult areas of GUI programming. Writers usually only skim the topic, covering the very basics of it. Based on my experience while writing a complete e-book dedicated to layout management, this chapter was a piece of cake. Once you know the principles behind the process, you can utilize them in other GUI toolkits too. In this chapter you will learn everything important about layout management.
