In this article, we will see how to add background image to a label, By default, when we create a label there is no background image although we can set background color to it.
Sometimes background image is necessary. In order to set a background image we will use setStyleSheet() method.
Syntax : label.setStyleSheet(“background-image : url(image.png)”;)
Argument : It takes string as argument.
Action performed Add background image to a label.
Code :
# importing the required libraries from PyQt5.QtCore import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("Python") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel(self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up the border self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid blue;") # setting label text self.label_1.setText("no background image") # creating a label widget self.label_2 = QLabel(self) # moving position self.label_2.move(160, 170) # setting up the border and adding image to background self.label_2.setStyleSheet("background-image : url(image.png); border : 2px solid blue") # setting label text self.label_2.setText("with background image") self.label_2.resize(100, 50) # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
