How can I rotate a QLabel in PyQt5?

I have a question! How can I rotate a QLabel in PyQt5?
I already did it with

.setStyleSheet('transform: rotate(90deg)')

but that did nothing!

You are being optimistic thinking QSS will accept that CSS --- it won't!.

See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19489999/qlabel-rotation. I believe you can rotate its pixmap but not its text.

But

It's C++ and not Python!
How can i put a label into a QPixmap?

Nevertheless many thanks!

Most examples for Qt are in C++. If you can find a Python example that's fine. Otherwise you have to translate from C++ to Python, which I don't think is very hard.

You cannot put a QLabel onto a QPixmap. You can put a QPixmap onto a QLabel.

How? If it wasn't so difficult to translate from C++ to Python?

Hi,

Load your picture in a QImage, rotate it and the make a QPixmap out of it before setting it on your QLabel.
