How to size and center my GUI.

[jettam]

Using pyside2uic I converted my QtDesigner.  It's super simple for my testing Just one pushbutton.

I can get it to launch in Maya. Great! But its small and not centered to the maya window.  I tried adding some code at the bottom that is suppose to scale it to 350x375 and center it. But its not working. 

# Loading a Qt Designer UI file and editing the loaded widget

import os
from PySide2 import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtUiTools, QtGui
from shiboken2 import wrapInstance
import maya.cmds as mc
import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui

def getMayaWindow():
 ''' pointer to the maya main window '''
 ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
 if ptr:
 return wrapInstance(long(ptr), QtWidgets.QMainWindow)

def run():
 ''' builds our UI '''
 global win
 win = GeometryGenerator(parent=getMayaWindow())
 #win.show()

class GeometryGenerator(QtWidgets.QDialog):
 
 def __init__(self,parent=None):
 super(GeometryGenerator,self).__init__(parent)


 # From Pysideuic compiler

 self.gridLayout = QtWidgets.QGridLayout()
 self.pushButton_A = QtWidgets.QPushButton()
 self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton_A, 0, 0, 1, 1)

 self.setWindowTitle(" WIN CONTROLLED IN PYTHON ")
 self.setLayout(self.gridLayout)
 self.show()




 # maya win dimensions
 parentWidth = parent.width()
 parentHeight = parent.height()

 guiWidth = 350
 guiHeight = 375

 posX = parentWidth * 0.5 - (guiWidth * 0.5) + parent.x()
 posY = parentHeight * 0.5 - (guiHeight * 0.5) + parent.y()

 self.ui.setGeometry(posX, posY, guiWidth, guiHeight)

I can't tell from your code, because its incomplete, but it looks like you should be calling the size operation on "self" instead of "self.ui". If "self.ui" is constrained to the main dialog then the resize and move wont do anything. You want to resize and move your top level dialog.

This usually works for me when setting a size of a dialog.

self.resize(QSize(500,300))

Try and call this inside the init method, before you call show().
