[PyQt] question about size hints

[Darren Dale]

I have a question about size hints that can be illustrated with the
simple example below. If I create my Test widget so it returns a size
hint of (200,100), it is rendered with a size of 200, 100. If I create
Test so it is 100x70, it is rendered to be 200x100. If I create test
to be 1000x700, it is rendered to be 853x533 (my screen resolution is
1280x800). If I set the size policy to be fixed, then the central
widget size policy is respected, but I can't resize the window. How
can I make m respect the size hint of the central widget, but still
maintain the ability to resize the window?

Thank you,
Darren

m.show()
s = c.size()
print 'but central widget has width=%d, height=%d'% (s.width(), s.height())
