how to expand /decrease QTable View without visible blank white space
I have a subclassed QAbstractTableModel
to display the data in the Table View in full size without scrolling I have turned of the Scrollbars
to get ridd of the white space around the Table View I have set the vertical/horizontal table length to a specific value.
Problem is that
I have added a add/deleate row Method to the Model so the Table View expands/shrinks now
to adjust the Table View behavior to display the data in full size and without white space I have set the horizontal Header to
table_view.horizontalHeader().setStretchLastSection(True)
which cuts off the white space in horicontal direction correctly
the same operation for the vertical header cuts of the white space too but does over strech the last row
I tryed to set each row to a default size with
table_view.verticalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(qtw.QHeaderView.Fixed)
table_view.verticalHeader().setDefaultSectionSize(40)
but this turns the white space on again
In short form: Im looking for a way to display the model data in the Table View in Full Size without white Space while beeing able to deleate/insert a row

Solution
space can't disappear magically. let's say the total table height is 600. if there are two rows in the table, the first row is 40. then, the second one is 600 - 40 = 560 if you don't wan't blank at the bottom of the table. if you set height of each row to 40, the height of the blank space would be 600 - 2 * 40 = 520. you can't require (a total height 600) + (two rows, 40 for each) + (no blank space at the bottom).
So, let me guess, you want (a. no blank space at the bottom) + (b, space is evenly split into row, so that the last row won't look weird.). If that if the case, I've edited your code to below which explains everything:
