Code Sample

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QVBoxLayout, QTextEdit, QWidget
from pyqt_moving_label.movingLabel import MovingLabel


class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.__initUi()

    def __initUi(self):
        self.__label = MovingLabel('Moving Label', self)
        # if you want to set the dynamic moving speed based on window size
        # self.__label.setDurationBasedOnWindowSize(True)
        # if you want to set the duration
        # self.__label.setDuration(5000)

        lay = QVBoxLayout()
        lay.addWidget(self.__label)
        lay.addWidget(QTextEdit())

        mainWidget = QWidget()
        mainWidget.setLayout(lay)

        self.setCentralWidget(mainWidget)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = MainWindow()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
