I'm very new to Python and even newer to PyQt. I've managed to create a table, but want to add images in certain cells. I've read that I need to subclass the QTableWidget class, or possibly the QTableWidgetItem class and re-implement the QPaintEvent. If anyone has an example of what goes into re-implementing the QPaintEvent I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Stephen
from PyQt4 import QtGui
import sys
imagePath = "enter the path to your image here"
class ImgWidget1(QtGui.QLabel):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(ImgWidget1, self).__init__(parent)
pic = QtGui.QPixmap(imagePath)
self.setPixmap(pic)
class ImgWidget2(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(ImgWidget2, self).__init__(parent)
self.pic = QtGui.QPixmap(imagePath)
def paintEvent(self, event):
painter = QtGui.QPainter(self)
painter.drawPixmap(0, 0, self.pic)
class Widget(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(Widget, self).__init__()
tableWidget = QtGui.QTableWidget(10, 2, self)
tableWidget.setCellWidget(0, 1, ImgWidget1(self))
tableWidget.setCellWidget(1, 1, ImgWidget2(self))
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
wnd = Widget()
wnd.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Two ways of doing it, since you asked for the painEvent.

Hope this helps.
Edit: Added requested solution using a QTableWidget subclass.
from PyQt4 import QtGui
import sys
class ImageWidget(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, imagePath, parent):
super(ImageWidget, self).__init__(parent)
self.picture = QtGui.QPixmap(imagePath)
def paintEvent(self, event):
painter = QtGui.QPainter(self)
painter.drawPixmap(0, 0, self.picture)
class TableWidget(QtGui.QTableWidget):
def setImage(self, row, col, imagePath):
image = ImageWidget(imagePath, self)
self.setCellWidget(row, col, image)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
tableWidget = TableWidget(10, 2)
tableWidget.setImage(0, 1, "<your image path here>")
tableWidget.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
