PyQt5 – Background image to indicator of Radio Button

In this article we will see how to set background image to the indicator of the radio button. The RadioButton has two parts one is the text part i.e label part and other is the indicator, by default indicator is round and no image is associated to it. In order to add background image to the indicator of the radio button we have to change the style sheet code associated with it, below is the style sheet code.

QRadioButton::indicator
{
background-image : url(image.png)
}

Note : When we add background image to indicator its shaped get changed from circle to square. Below is the implementation. 

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a radio button
        radio_button = QRadioButton(self)

        # setting geometry of radio button
        radio_button.setGeometry(200, 150, 120, 40)

        # setting text to radio button
        radio_button.setText("GEEK ?")

        # setting the style sheet
        # adding background image to the indicator of radio button
        radio_button.setStyleSheet("QRadioButton::indicator"
                                   "{"
                                   "background-image : url(image.png);"
                                   "}")

# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
