Detailed Description¶

A brush has a style, a color, a gradient and a texture.

The brush style() defines the fill pattern using the BrushStyle enum. The default brush style is NoBrush (depending on how you construct a brush). This style tells the painter to not fill shapes. The standard style for filling is SolidPattern . The style can be set when the brush is created using the appropriate constructor, and in addition the setStyle() function provides means for altering the style once the brush is constructed.

The brush color() defines the color of the fill pattern. The color can either be one of Qt’s predefined colors, GlobalColor , or any other custom QColor . The currently set color can be retrieved and altered using the color() and setColor() functions, respectively.

The gradient() defines the gradient fill used when the current style is either LinearGradientPattern , RadialGradientPattern or ConicalGradientPattern . Gradient brushes are created by giving a QGradient as a constructor argument when creating the QBrush . Qt provides three different gradients: QLinearGradient , QConicalGradient , and QRadialGradient - all of which inherit QGradient .
QRadialGradient gradient(50, 50, 50, 50, 50);
gradient.setColorAt(0, QColor::fromRgbF(0, 1, 0, 1));
gradient.setColorAt(1, QColor::fromRgbF(0, 0, 0, 0));

QBrush brush(gradient);
The texture() defines the pixmap used when the current style is TexturePattern . You can create a brush with a texture by providing the pixmap when the brush is created or by using setTexture() .

Note that applying setTexture() makes style() == TexturePattern , regardless of previous style settings. Also, calling setColor() will not make a difference if the style is a gradient. The same is the case if the style is TexturePattern style unless the current texture is a QBitmap .

The isOpaque() function returns true if the brush is fully opaque otherwise false. A brush is considered opaque if:

The alpha component of the color() is 255.

Its texture() does not have an alpha channel and is not a QBitmap .

The colors in the gradient() all have an alpha component that is 255.
To specify the style and color of lines and outlines, use the QPainter ‘s pen combined with PenStyle and GlobalColor :
painter = QPainter(self)

painter.setBrush(Qt.cyan)
painter.setPen(Qt.darkCyan)
painter.drawRect(0, 0, 100,100)

painter.setBrush(Qt.NoBrush)
painter.setPen(Qt.darkGreen)
painter.drawRect(40, 40, 100, 100)
Note that, by default, QPainter renders the outline (using the currently set pen) when drawing shapes. Use painter.setPen(Qt::NoPen) :attr:` <Qt.PenStyle>` to disable this behavior.
For more information about painting in general, see the Paint System .

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.color()¶

Return type:: PySide2.QtGui.QColor

Returns the brush color.

See also

setColor()

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.gradient()¶

Return type:: PySide2.QtGui.QGradient

Returns the gradient describing this brush.

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.isOpaque()¶

Return type:: bool

Returns true if the brush is fully opaque otherwise false. A brush is considered opaque if:

The alpha component of the color() is 255.
Its texture() does not have an alpha channel and is not a QBitmap .
The colors in the gradient() all have an alpha component that is 255.
It is an extended radial gradient.

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.matrix()¶

Return type:: PySide2.QtGui.QMatrix

Note

This function is deprecated.

Use transform() instead.

Returns the current transformation matrix for the brush.

See also

setMatrix()

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.__ne__(b)¶

Parameters:: b – PySide2.QtGui.QBrush
Return type:: bool

Returns true if the brush is different from the given brush ; otherwise returns false .

Two brushes are different if they have different styles, colors or transforms or different pixmaps or gradients depending on the style.

See also

operator==()

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.__eq__(b)¶

Parameters:: b – PySide2.QtGui.QBrush
Return type:: bool

Returns true if the brush is equal to the given brush ; otherwise returns false .

Two brushes are equal if they have equal styles, colors and transforms and equal pixmaps or gradients depending on the style.

operator!=()

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.setColor(color)¶

Parameters:: color – GlobalColor

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the brush color to the given color .

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.setColor(color)

Parameters:: color – PySide2.QtGui.QColor

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.setMatrix(mat)¶

Parameters:: mat – PySide2.QtGui.QMatrix

Note

This function is deprecated.

Use setTransform() instead.

Sets matrix as an explicit transformation matrix on the current brush. The brush transformation matrix is merged with QPainter transformation matrix to produce the final result.

matrix()

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.setStyle(arg__1)¶

Parameters:: arg__1 – BrushStyle

Sets the brush style to style .

See also

style()

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.setTexture(pixmap)¶

Parameters:: pixmap – PySide2.QtGui.QPixmap

Sets the brush pixmap to pixmap . The style is set to TexturePattern .

The current brush color will only have an effect for monochrome pixmaps, i.e. for depth() == 1 ( QBitmaps ).

See also

texture()

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.setTextureImage(image)¶

Parameters:: image – PySide2.QtGui.QImage

Sets the brush image to image . The style is set to TexturePattern .

Note the current brush color will not have any affect on monochrome images, as opposed to calling setTexture() with a QBitmap . If you want to change the color of monochrome image brushes, either convert the image to QBitmap with QBitmap::fromImage() and set the resulting QBitmap as a texture, or change the entries in the color table for the image.

PySide2.QtGui.QBrush.setTransform(arg__1)¶

Parameters:: arg__1 – PySide2.QtGui.QTransform

Sets matrix as an explicit transformation matrix on the current brush. The brush transformation matrix is merged with QPainter transformation matrix to produce the final result.
