wxPython - Image on button in Python

wxPython – Image on button in Python

Last Updated : 10 May, 2020

In this particular article we will learn how can we add image to a button in GUI using wxPython. This can be achievwd using BitmapButton() constructor of wx.BitmapButton class in wx.

Following Window Styles are supported :

wx.BU_LEFT: Left-justifies the bitmap label.
wx.BU_TOP: Aligns the bitmap label to the top of the button.
wx.BU_RIGHT: Right-justifies the bitmap label.
wx.BU_BOTTOM: Aligns the bitmap label to the bottom of the button.

Syntax :
wx.StaticText(self, parent, id=ID_ANY, bitmap=NullBitmap, 
              pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, 
           validator= DefaultVadator, name=StaticTextNameStr)
Parameters :
Parameter Input Type Description
parent wx.Window Parent window. Should not be None.
id wx.WindowID Control identifier. A value of -1 denotes a default value.
bitmap wx.Bitmap Bitto be displayed.
pos wx.Point Window position.
size wx.Window Window size.
style long Window style.
validator wx.Validator Window validator.
name string Window name.

Parameter	Input Type	Description
parent	wx.Window	Parent window. Should not be None.
id	wx.WindowID	Control identifier. A value of -1 denotes a default value.
bitmap	wx.Bitmap	Bitto be displayed.
pos	wx.Point	Window position.
size	wx.Window	Window size.
style	long	Window style.
validator	wx.Validator	Window validator.
name	string	Window name.

Example Code:

# import wxPython
import wx
  
# event function for button
def onButton(event):
    print("Button pressed.")
  
app = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, 'win.py')
frame.SetDimensions(0, 0, 200, 70)
panel = wx.Panel(frame, wx.ID_ANY)
  
# open image from disk
bmp = wx.Bitmap("/home/rahul101/Desktop/wxPython/images.png", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY)
# create image button using BitMapButton constructor
button = wx.BitmapButton(panel, id = wx.ID_ANY, bitmap = bmp,
                          size =(bmp.GetWidth()+10, bmp.GetHeight()+10))
   
button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, onButton)
button.SetPosition((10, 10))
  
frame.Show()
frame.Centre()
app.MainLoop()
