PyQtImageViewer

Yet another PyQt (version 4 or 5) image viewer widget. Comes prepackaged with several configurable options for display (aspect ratio, scroll bars) and mouse interaction (zoom, pan, click signals).

Displays a QImage or QPixmap. To display any other image format, you must first convert it to a QImage or QPixmap. Some useful image format conversion utilities:

qimage2ndarray: NumPy ndarray <==> QImage
ImageQt: PIL Image <==> QImage

INSTALL

Everything's in QtImageViewer.py. Just put it somewhere where your project can find it.

Requires:

PyQt (version 4 or 5)

A Simple Example

import sys
try:
    from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt, QT_VERSION_STR
    from PyQt5.QtGui import QImage
    from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QFileDialog
except ImportError:
    try:
        from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt, QT_VERSION_STR
        from PyQt4.QtGui import QImage, QApplication, QFileDialog
    except ImportError:
        raise ImportError("Requires PyQt5 or PyQt4.")
from QtImageViewer import QtImageViewer

# Custom slot for handling mouse clicks in our viewer.
# Just prints the (row, column) matrix index of the 
# image pixel that was clicked on.
def handleLeftClick(x, y):
    row = int(y)
    column = int(x)
    print("Pixel (row="+str(row)+", column="+str(column)+")")
