PyQt5 – Background image to Radio Button

0 0 2 minutes read

In this article we will see how we can set the background image to a radio button, by default there is no image associated with the radio button but we can add the background image to the radio button to the background part, there are two parts of radio button one is the indicator and other is background part i.e label part.

In order to add background image to the radio button we have to change the style sheet code of the radio button. Below is the style sheet code.

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

Below is the implementation.

# importing libraries 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui 
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtCore 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 radio button 
        radio_button.setStyleSheet("QRadioButton"
                                   "{"
                                   "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())
