PyQt5 QCalendarWidget - Accessing Geometry

In PyQt5, if you want to access the geometry of a QCalendarWidget (or any other widget for that matter), you can use the geometry() method. This method returns a QRect object that provides various properties like x(), y(), width(), and height() which give the position and size of the widget on the screen.

Here's a simple example demonstrating how to create a QCalendarWidget and access its geometry:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QCalendarWidget class MainWindow(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # Create a QCalendarWidget self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self) self.setCentralWidget(self.calendar) # Connect the clicked signal of the calendar to a custom method self.calendar.clicked.connect(self.display_geometry) def display_geometry(self, date): # Access the geometry of the calendar widget geometry = self.calendar.geometry() print(f"Position: ({geometry.x()}, {geometry.y()})") print(f"Size: {geometry.width()} x {geometry.height()}") app = QApplication(sys.argv) window = MainWindow() window.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) 

In this example, every time you click on a date in the QCalendarWidget, it will print out the position and size of the calendar widget.

Note: The geometry you get from the geometry() method is relative to the widget's parent. If the widget is the central widget of a QMainWindow (as in the example), the position (0, 0) would represent the top-left corner of the main window's central area (below the menu and toolbars). If you want the position on the screen, you should use the mapToGlobal() method.
