Short description

I'm using a lot the Docks and it's super nice tools. There is however an issue with their DockLabel. Indeed the Vetical label they are inheriting from is not properly taking into account the size of the label (in particular its font size). The MaximumHeight property of the Vertical label seems always too small. As you can see below

when applying a qdarkstyle to it, it's even worse (and the issue come from pyqtgraph as you have hardcoded the style in the VerticalLabel class):

Code to reproduce

import sys
from qtpy import QtWidgets, QtCore
from pyqtgraph.dockarea import Dock, DockArea


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)

    area = DockArea()
    dock1 = Dock('ggg lll jjj')
    dock2 = Dock('ppp, ggg, zzz')
    area.addDock(dock1)
    area.addDock(dock2, position='right')
    area.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

and with qdarstyle:

import sys
from qtpy import QtWidgets, QtCore
from pyqtgraph.dockarea import Dock, DockArea


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    import qdarkstyle
    app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet(qdarkstyle.DarkPalette))
    area = DockArea()
    dock1 = Dock('ggg lll jjj')
    dock2 = Dock('ppp, ggg, zzz')
    area.addDock(dock1)
    area.addDock(dock2, position='right')
    area.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

Expected behavior

I would expect the label area to expand to let people read completely the label text

Real behavior

More or less part of the text is being cropped

Possible Patch

I had to set the MaximumHeight of the VerticalLabel to some value to solve the issue
