Syntax : label.alignment() Argument : It takes no argument. Return : It returns the Qt.Alignment object

Code :

Python3

# importing the required libraries

from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()


        # set the title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # creating a label widget
        self.label_1 = QLabel("old label ", self)

        # setting up the border
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;")

        # setting the alignment of the label
        self.label_1.setAlignment(Qt.AlignRight)

        # getting the alignment of the label
        align = self.label_1.alignment()

        # printing the align of label
        print(align)

        # resizing the label
        self.label_1.resize(150, 40)

        # moving the label
        self.label_1.move(100, 100)

        # creating a new label widget
        self.label_2 = QLabel("new Label ", self)

        # setting up the border
        self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;")

        # moving the label
        self.label_2.move(200, 200)

        # resizing the label
        self.label_2.resize(150, 40)

        # setting the alignment using label_1 alignment
        self.label_2.setAlignment(align)

        # show all the widgets
        self.show()

# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
