wxPython – Add Image in Button

In this article we are going to learn that, how can we add image in a button. So first of all we will create a wx.Bitmap object and initialize with the image we want to add to button. After this we will use SetBitmap() function associated with wx.Button class of wxPython.

SetBitmap() function takes wx.Bitmap object as parameter.

Syntax: wx.Button.SetBitmap(self, bitmap)

Parameters:

Parameter	Input Type	Description
bitmap	wx.Bitmap	Bitmap set for button.

Code Example:

import wx


class Example(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)

        # create parent panel for button
        self.pnl = wx.Panel(self)

        # create wx.Bitmap object
        bmp = wx.Bitmap('pointer.png')

        # create button at point (20, 20)
        self.st = wx.Button(self.pnl, id = 1, label ="Button", pos =(20, 20),
                                        size =(100, 30),  name ="button")

        # set bmp as bitmap for button
        self.st.SetBitmap(bmp)

        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('wx.Button')
        self.Centre()

def main():
    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
