Code Sample

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QVBoxLayout, QTextEdit, QWidget

from pyqt_moving_label.movingLabel import MovingLabel





class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__()

        self.__initUi()



    def __initUi(self):

        self.__label = MovingLabel('Moving Label', self)

        # if you want to set the dynamic moving speed based on window size

        # self.__label.setDurationBasedOnWindowSize(True)

        # if you want to set the duration

        # self.__label.setDuration(5000)



        lay = QVBoxLayout()

        lay.addWidget(self.__label)

        lay.addWidget(QTextEdit())



        mainWidget = QWidget()

        mainWidget.setLayout(lay)



        self.setCentralWidget(mainWidget)





if __name__ == "__main__":
