This is a collection of code that I used when I was learning PyQt6 and writing LatentEye.
I grew weary of sifting through different Qt and PyQt6 variations
while searching for answers about the meaning of <insert feature or function here >
I often found myself unsure whether an example from "pyqt," pyside, pyside n, or
an earlier version of PyQt would even be applicable. Some of the
example code I encountered was over a decade old, and I definitely
didn't want to install three or four variations of essentially the
same framework, or outdated versions that I would never use again.
So, I created this collection.
I generally learn by doing and converting old code, some of it REALLY old. I've learned a lot by converting old code to PyQt6, but I still feel like a noob. There seems to be a dearth of PyQt6 examples for the things I was looking for. Sure, there are many for PyQt5 (or earlier) and various versions of Pyside, but even the Pyside6 examples have differences from PyQt6 beyond just the name and license type. In any case, I hope these examples help someone else figure something out.
Some of these I wrote, some I modified, some I just changed the import lines and some I did write any of it. I have tried to remember to include the original source materiel URL but I sometimes forget. For the ones I forgot... Sorry, Thank you for making it publicly available. I appreciate your time and code that helped me learn this stuff.
I have no doubt some of this maybe all of this could be written better but it served MY purposes, yours is likely different. Further this is for all intents and purposes just test code not production code. --- code that helped me understand something. If you feel the need to point a better way to code something, Great. Or an example I don't have, even better. Send me a PR. But I request only working, commented, os-agnostic PyQt6 code. I value readability over conciseness for examples.
One other thing, I'm not Tech Support. This code is provided AS IS. If the code doesn't work for you, sorry, you get what you pay for.
All the code here is free to use or abuse however you see fit. Any pre-existing owner copyrights MUST be observed.
Finally, there are a lot of older and likely better "offical" examples at https://github.com/pyqt/examples/tree/_
however, many of these are PyQt5, etc.
There are a few other good examples at:

- https://www.pythonguis.com I'm sure if you use your favorite search engine you will find others.
