Convert numpy array to PySide QPixmap

Question

I want to convert an image into a NumPy array to a PySide QPixmap, so I can display it (EDIT: in my PySide UI). I already found this tool: qimage2ndarray, but it only works

Answer 1

In addition to @user545424 answer about using PIL, if you didn't want to depend on PIL, you could manually construct your Image directly from your np array:

width = 100
height = 100
data = np.random.randint(0,256,size=(width,height,3)).astype(np.uint8)

img = QtGui.QImage(width, height, QtGui.QImage.Format_RGB32)
for x in xrange(width):
    for y in xrange(height):
        img.setPixel(x, y, QtGui.QColor(*data[x][y]).rgb())

pix = QtGui.QPixmap.fromImage(img)

I'm sure, using PIL, there is a way to read the actual image data into a QImage, but I will let @user545424 address that part since its from his answer. PIL comes with the ImageQt module which is convenient for directly converting an Image -> QPixmap, but unfortunately thats a PyQt4 QPixmap, which doesn't help you.
