QAutoScrollLabel

QAutoScrollLabel

This is a Widget that I made on my own to start practicing my knowledge of pythhon and PyQt, it will show in the code itself and in the documentation and notes that I am newbie on this.

Widget preview

This is a preview of the Widget with its default Text, The text in this widget moves automatically if the text is larger than the Widget itself.

How to use

Widget initialization

To initialize the Widget you will need to instantiate the QAutoScrollLabel class, which has two optional arguments which are parent of type QWidget and debug of type Boolean; after this the show() function must be called.

  • Vel: The amount of pixels to scroll every tick.
  • Time between ticks: The time in seconds between one tick and the next one.
  • Ticks Per Second: The number of ticks each second.

• If False debug(False) The widget will stop printing debug info.
