Scale QLabel based on text

Dummie1138

Hi. I have some text in a QLabel.

According to my code, the size of the two QLabels are 100px. I was wondering whether is a way of scaling the QLabel's size based on the length of text. I am aware that setScaledContents is a thing, but that one is for QPixmaps and only scales the Pixmap instead of the QLabel.

I would like the QLabel to be scaled because I am trying to place the QLabel's center exactly under the QFrames (the vertical bars).

    QFrame *frontLine = new QFrame(this);
    frontLine->setStyleSheet("border: 10px solid #000080;");
    frontLine->setGeometry(X, Y, SPLITLINEWIDTH, SPLITLINEHEIGHT);
    QLabel *iniTemp = new QLabel(this);
    iniTemp->setText("REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE");
    iniTemp->setStyleSheet("color: navy; background: green; font: 12px; alignment: left;");
    iniTemp->setFrameShadow(QFrame::Raised);
    iniTemp->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Panel);
    iniTemp->setLineWidth(2);
    qDebug() << (iniTemp->width());  //How can this be 0?
    iniTemp->move(X - (iniTemp->width()-65), Y+SPLITLINEHEIGHT+LABELDISTANCE);

    QFrame *backLine = new QFrame(this);
    backLine->setStyleSheet("border: 10px solid #000080;");
    X = MAINLINEX + MAINLINEW - SPLITLINEWIDTH/2;
    backLine->setGeometry(X, Y, SPLITLINEWIDTH, SPLITLINEHEIGHT);
    QLabel *finTemp = new QLabel(this);
    finTemp->setText("Final Temp");
    finTemp->setStyleSheet("color: navy; background: green; font: 12px; alignment: center;");
    finTemp->setFrameShadow(QFrame::Raised);
    finTemp->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Panel);
    finTemp->setLineWidth(2);
    qDebug() << (finTemp->width());
    finTemp->move(X - (finTemp->width())/2, Y+SPLITLINEHEIGHT+LABELDISTANCE);

Please let me know if more information is required.

@Dummie1138 You can use https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfontmetrics.html to figure out how wide your QLabel has to be to show the given string with the given font.
