Put an Image on a QPushButton

Question

I\'m a beginner in PyQt and I have an image known as add.gif. I need to put this image in a QPushButton but I don\'t know how.

Answer 1

Assuming pyqt supports gif pictures, this should work

icon  = QtGui.QPixmap('add.gif')
button = QtGui.QPushButton()
button.setIcon(icon)

QPushButton

Push buttons display a textual label, and optionally a small icon. These can be set using the constructors and changed later using setText() and setIcon(). If the button is disabled, the appearance of the text and icon will be manipulated with respect to the GUI style to make the button look "disabled".

Answer 2

Example:

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore

class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self)
        self.button = QtGui.QPushButton('', self)
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.handleButton)
        self.button.setIcon(QtGui.QIcon('myImage.jpg'))
        self.button.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(24,24))
        layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.button)

    def handleButton(self):
        pass


if __name__ == '__main__':

    import sys
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = Window()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
