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 ())
