Detailed Description

It can display a number in just about any size. It can display decimal, hexadecimal, octal or binary numbers. It is easy to connect to data sources using the display() slot, which is overloaded to take any of five argument types.

There are also slots to change the base with setMode() and the decimal point with setSmallDecimalPoint() .

QLCDNumber emits the overflow() signal when it is asked to display something beyond its range. The range is set by setDigitCount() , but setSmallDecimalPoint() also influences it. If the display is set to hexadecimal, octal or binary, the integer equivalent of the value is displayed.

These digits and other symbols can be shown: 0/O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/S, 6, 7, 8, 9/g, minus, decimal point, A, B, C, D, E, F, h, H, L, o, P, r, u, U, Y, colon, degree sign (which is specified as single quote in the string) and space. QLCDNumber substitutes spaces for illegal characters.

It is not possible to retrieve the contents of a QLCDNumber object, although you can retrieve the numeric value with value() . If you really need the text, we recommend that you connect the signals that feed the display() slot to another slot as well and store the value there.

Incidentally, QLCDNumber is the very oldest part of Qt, tracing its roots back to a BASIC program on the Sinclair Spectrum .

class PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber([parent=None])

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber(numDigits[, parent=None])

Parameters

• numDigits – uint

• parent – PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget

Constructs an LCD number, sets the number of digits to 5, the base to decimal, the decimal point mode to ‘small’ and the frame style to a raised box. The segmentStyle() is set to Outline.

The parent argument is passed to the QFrame constructor.

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.Mode

This type determines how numbers are shown.

Constant	Description
QLCDNumber.Hex	Hexadecimal
QLCDNumber.Dec	Decimal

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.checkOverflow(num)

Parameters

num – int

Return type

bool

This is an overloaded function.

Returns true if num is too big to be displayed in its entirety; otherwise returns false.

display() digitCount() smallDecimalPoint()

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.digitCount()

Return type

int

This property holds the current number of digits displayed.

Corresponds to the current number of digits. If smallDecimalPoint is false, the decimal point occupies one digit position.

By default, this property contains a value of 5.

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.display(str)

Parameters

str – str

Displays the number represented by the string s.

This version of the function disregards mode() and smallDecimalPoint() .

These digits and other symbols can be shown: 0/O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/S, 6, 7, 8, 9/g, minus, decimal point, A, B, C, D, E, F, h, H, L, o, P, r, u, U, Y, colon, degree sign (which is specified as single quote in the string) and space. QLCDNumber substitutes spaces for illegal characters.

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.display(num)

Parameters

num – int

This is an overloaded function.

Displays the number num.

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.display(num)

Parameters

num – double

This property holds the displayed value.

This property corresponds to the current value displayed by the LCDNumber.

If the displayed value is not a number, the property has a value of 0.

By default, this property contains a value of 0.

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.intValue()

Return type

int

This property holds the displayed value rounded to the nearest integer.

This property corresponds to the nearest integer to the current value displayed by the LCDNumber. This is the value used for hexadecimal, octal and binary modes.

If the displayed value is not a number, the property has a value of 0.

By default, this property contains a value of 0.

PySide6.QtWidgets.QLCDNumber.mode()

Return type

Mode

This property holds the current display mode (number base).

Corresponds to the current display mode, which is one of Bin, Oct, Dec (the default) and Hex. Dec mode can display floating point values, the other modes display the integer equivalent.

Return type

SegmentStyle

This property holds the style of the LCDNumber.

Style	Result
Outline	Produces raised segments filled with the background color
