PyQt5 – Image bar as Progress Bar

In this article we will see how to add image to bar of progress bar. We can set the background image but in order to set image to a bar we have to modify the progress bar chunk CSS, below is how normal background image and background image to a bar looks like.

In order to do this below is the CSS style sheet for chunk file

QProgressBar::chunk
{
 background-image : url(image.png);
}

This style sheet is used by setStyleSheet method, below is the implementation

# importing libraries

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 progress bar
        bar = QProgressBar(self)

        # setting geometry to progress bar
        bar.setGeometry(200, 100, 200, 30)

        # setting the value
        bar.setValue(70)

        # setting alignment to center
        bar.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)

        # adding background image to bar
        bar.setStyleSheet(
                          "QProgressBar::chunk "
                          "{"
                          "background-image: url(image.png);"
                          "}"
                          )

App = QApplication(sys.argv)

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

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

Output :
