Example 2: Drag and Drop Image In this example, we will use QMimeData to implement drag and drop functionality to load an image into a QPixmap widget. The QPixmap widget is a GUI control that enables users to display images, and it is a part of the QtGui module.python from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets class Example(QtWidgets.QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.initUI() def initUI(self): # set the widget to be ready to accept drops self.setAcceptDrops(True) # create a label widget to display the image self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(self) self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(50, 50, 200, 200)) # set the title and size of the window self.setWindowTitle("Drag and Drop") self.setGeometry(300, 300, 300, 300) def dragEnterEvent(self, event): # check if the MIME type of the data is an image if event.mimeData().hasImage(): event.accept() # accept the event else: event.ignore() # ignore the event def dropEvent(self, event): # get the image from the MIME data image = QtGui.QPixmap(event.mimeData().imageData()) # set the image to the label widget self.label.setPixmap(image) def mousePressEvent(self, event): # create a QMimeData object mimeData = QtCore.QMimeData() # load the image image = "image.png" pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap(image) # set the image data to the QMimeData object mimeData.setImageData(pixmap) # create a QDrag object and set the MIME data drag = QtGui.QDrag(self) drag.setMimeData(mimeData) # set the pixmap to the QDrag object drag.setPixmap(pixmap) # start the drag event with the MoveAction drag.exec_(QtCore.Qt.MoveAction) if __name__ == '__main__': app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv) ex = Example() ex.show() sys.exit(app.exec()) ``` Both of these examples use the PyQt5 QtCore QMimeData class to transfer data between different application components. The first example shows how to copy and paste text between QTextEdit widgets, while the second example shows how to drag and drop an image into a QPixmap widget.
