PyQtGraph – Setting Plot Window Icon

In this article we will see how we can set icon to the plot window in the PyQtGraph module. PyQtGraph is a graphics and user interface library for Python that provides functionality commonly required in designing and science applications. Its primary goals are to provide fast, interactive graphics for displaying data (plots, video, etc.) and second is to provide tools to aid in rapid application development (for example, property trees such as used in Qt Designer).Plot windows consist of two main parts: the Plot Panel containing the actual plotted graphics and the Control Panel. Application Icons are used to depict a particular application in a phone or computer. It is used by different application maker to launch the icon. Tapping or clicking an icon would open up the corresponding application to get it in use.

We can create a plot window with the help of command given below

# creating a pyqtgraph plot window
window = pg.plot()

In order to do this we use setWindowIcon method with the plot window object

Syntax : window.setWindowIcon(icon)

Argument : It takes QIcon object as argument

Return : It returns None

Below is the implementation

# importing QtGui to use QIcon
from PyQt5.QtGui import *

# importing pyqtgraph as pg
import pyqtgraph as pg

# importing QtCore and QtGui from the pyqtgraph module
from pyqtgraph.Qt import QtCore, QtGui

# importing numpy as np
import numpy as np

import time

# creating a pyqtgraph plot window
window = pg.plot()

# setting window geometry
# left = 100, top = 100
# width = 600, height = 500
window.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 500)

# title for the plot window
title = "GeeksforGeeks PyQtGraph"

# setting window title to plot window
window.setWindowTitle(title)

# create list for y-axis
y1 = [5, 5, 7, 10, 3, 8, 9, 1, 6, 2]

# create horizontal list i.e x-axis
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

# create pyqt5graph bar graph item
# with width = 0.6
# with bar colors = green
bargraph1 = pg.BarGraphItem(x = x, height = y1, width = 0.6, brush ='g')

# add item to plot window
# adding bargraph item to the window
window.addItem(bargraph1)

# icon for plot window
icon = QIcon("logo.png")

# setting icon to the plot window
window.setWindowIcon(icon)

# main method
if __name__ == '__main__':

    # importing system
    import sys

    # Start Qt event loop unless running in interactive mode or using
    if (sys.flags.interactive != 1) or not hasattr(QtCore, 'PYQT_VERSION'):
        QtGui.QApplication.instance().exec_()

Output :
