How can I add a Picture to a QWidget in PyQt4

Question

How can I add or import a picture to a QWidget? I have found a clue. I can add a Label and add a Picture in that label. I need the arguments for the QPicture(). The probable I can use is, QLabel.setPicture(self.QPicture).

Answer 1

QPicture is not what you want. QPicture records and replays QPainter commands. What you want is QPixmap. Give a filename to the QPixmap constructor, and set this pixmap to the label using QLabel.setPixmap().

PS: Sorry i can't give code examples, i don't know python :)

Answer 2

Here is some code that does what you and @erelender described:

import os,sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QtGui.QMainWindow()
window.setGeometry(0, 0, 400, 200)

pic = QtGui.QLabel(window)
pic.setGeometry(10, 10, 400, 100)
#use full ABSOLUTE path to the image, not relative
pic.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(os.getcwd() + "/logo.png"))

window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

A generic QWidget does not have setPixmap(). If this approach does not work for you, you can look at making your own custom widget that derives from QWidget and override the paintEvent method to display the image.
