PyQt QPixmap

QPixmap is a widget used to handle images. The file formats supported are as follows: Some image formats can only be 'read'.

Supported formats are bitmap (bmp), gif, jpg, jpeg, png, pbm, pgm, ppm, xbm and xpm. Using QPixmap, we're able to display a single image in a window.

Description

pixmap = QPixmap('computer.jpg')

Enter a file name and create a QPixmap object (pixmap).

lbl_img = QLabel()
lbl_img.setPixmap(pixmap)

Create one label and use setPixmap to set the pixmap as the image that will appear on the label.

lbl_size = QLabel('Width: '+str(pixmap.width())+', Height: '+str(pixmap.height()))
lbl_size.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)

width() and height() return the width and height of the image.

Create a label (1) that displays lbl_size height, and set it to center alignment using the setAlignment method.

vbox = QVBoxLayout()
vbox.addWidget(lbl)
self.setLayout(vbox)

Create one horizontal box layout and place labels.

Use setLayout() to specify the horizontal box (hbox) as the layout of the window.
