Pop up window showing image

john_hobbyist

Hello, I have built an application with GUI on PyQt5. I need to display pop up window when press a button. This pop up window should show image. How can I achieve that? From a little google search I see that pop up windows show only text... Is there any other class suitable for what I want to achieve?

Hi,

Create a QDialog based class that will show the image. You can use a QLabel to show it.

At that part:

I connect the window() method to the pressed button of the central GUI right instead of calling it at the end, right?

@john_hobbyist Demo:

from PyQt5 import QtGui, QtWidgets


def handle_clicked():
    dialog = QtWidgets.QDialog()
    lay = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(dialog)
    label = QtWidgets.QLabel()
    lay.addWidget(label)
    pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap("/path/of/image")
    label.setPixmap(pixmap)
    dialog.exec_()


def main():
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])

    w = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Press me")
    w.clicked.connect(handle_clicked)
    # w.resize(640, 480)
    w.show()

    app.exec_()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
