Changing the line height of QLabel

[Dummie1138]

Hi. I have the following QLabel, with the following text:

Sample
temperature

This is what it looks like on my application:

I am wondering how to make the line height of QLabel smaller. I haven't found any documentation for this, somehow, despite the feature being relatively basic. Please let me know if I missed anything or if more info is required.

@Dummie1138 The natural vertical spacing of text automatically wrapped or with deliberate line breaks is given by QFontMetrics::lineSpacing(). This figure is a function of font and size and is not adjustable out-of-the box.

You can subclass QLabel and provide your own rendering.

@Dummie1138 What lines do you mean?
Or do you mean alignment and stretching?

@Dummie1138
Is your QLabel in a layout ?

[Dummie1138]

@jsulm By "line height", I mean this:

The distance between the top and the bottom.

@mpergand Yes, my QLabel is built in the .ui files.

This does not mean that you're using layouts. So the question from @mpergand is still not answered.

@jsulm @mpergand My apologies, I misunderstood. No, I am not using QLayouts or any of it's classes to house my QLabel.
