[qt5] center a window on screen

centering.py

__author__ = 'tom'

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget, QDesktopWidget, QApplication


class Example(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.init_ui()

    def init_ui(self):
        self.resize(250, 150)
        self.center()
        self.setWindowTitle('Center')
        self.show()

    def center(self):
        # geometry of the main window
        qr = self.frameGeometry()

        # center point of screen
        cp = QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center()

        # move rectangle's center point to screen's center point
        qr.moveCenter(cp)

        # top left of rectangle becomes top left of window centering it
        self.move(qr.topLeft())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Nice :)

Share my code (cpp version):
https://gist.github.com/sawaYch/f18d0832ce4620d2c32d17837465b26c

In latest qt5, seems:
QGuiApplication::primaryScreen();
is suggested to use, rather than :
QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry()

I was just searching for that :D

Thank you !

in case anyone is interested, I created a fork which gets rid of QDesktopWidget, which is the better way of doing this
