Description

QtAwesome enables iconic fonts such as Font Awesome and Elusive Icons in PyQt and PySide applications.

It started as a Python port of the QtAwesome C++ library by Rick Blommers.

Installation

Using pip:

Make sure you have pip installed and run:

pip install qtawesome

Using conda:

conda install qtawesome

Usage

Supported Fonts

QtAwesome identifies icons by their prefix and their icon name, separated by a period (.) character.

The following prefixes are currently available to use:

Examples

import qtawesome as qta
  • Use Font Awesome, Elusive Icons or Material Design Icons.
# Get FontAwesome 5.x icons by name in various styles:
fa5_icon = qta.icon('fa5.flag')
fa5_button = QtGui.QPushButton(fa5_icon, 'Font Awesome! (regular)')
fa5s_icon = qta.icon('fa5s.flag')
fa5s_button = QtGui.QPushButton(fa5s_icon, 'Font Awesome! (solid)')
fa5b_icon = qta.icon('fa5b.github')
fa5b_button = QtGui.QPushButton(fa5b_icon, 'Font Awesome! (brands)')

# or Elusive Icons:
asl_icon = qta.icon('ei.asl')
elusive_button = QtGui.QPushButton(asl_icon, 'Elusive Icons!')

# or Material Design Icons:
apn_icon = qta.icon('mdi.access-point-network')
mdi_button = QtGui.QPushButton(apn_icon, 'Material Design Icons!')
  • Apply some styling
# Styling icons
styling_icon = qta.icon('fa5s.music',
                        active='fa5s.balance-scale',
                        color='blue',
                        color_active='orange')
music_button = QtGui.QPushButton(styling_icon, 'Styling')
  • Stack multiple icons
# Stacking icons
camera_ban = qta.icon('fa5s.camera', 'fa5s.ban',
                      options=[{'scale_factor': 0.5,
                                'active': 'fa5s.balance-scale'},
                               {'color': 'red'}])
stack_button = QtGui.QPushButton(camera_ban, 'Stack')
stack_button.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(32, 32))
  • Animations
# Spining icons
spin_button = QtGui.QPushButton(' Spinning icon')
spin_icon = qta.icon('fa5s.spinner', color='red',
                     animation=qta.Spin(spin_button))
spin_button.setIcon(spin_icon)

Other features

  • QtAwesome relies on the QtPy project as a compatibility layer on the top ot PyQt or PySide.
