PyQt - BrushStyle Constants

Predefined QColor Styles

Qt.NoBrush	No brush pattern
Qt.SolidPattern	Uniform color
Qt.Dense1Pattern	Extremely dense brush pattern
Qt.HorPattern	Horizontal lines
Qt.VerPattern	Vertical lines
Qt.CrossPattern	Crossing horizontal and vertical lines
Qt.BDiagPattern	Backward diagonal lines
Qt.FDiagPattern	Forward diagonal lines
Qt.DiagCrossPattern	Crossing diagonal lines

Predefined QColor Objects

Qt.white

Qt.black

Qt.red

Qt.darkRed

Qt.green

Qt.darkGreen

Qt.blue

Qt.cyan

Qt.magenta

Qt.yellow

Qt.darkYellow

Qt.gray

Custom color can be chosen by specifying RGB or CMYK or HSV values.

Example

The following example implements some of these methods.

import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import *

class Example(QWidget):

   def __init__(self):
      super(Example, self).__init__()
      self.initUI()
  
   def initUI(self):
      self.text = "hello world"
      self.setGeometry(100,100, 400,300)
      self.setWindowTitle('Draw Demo')
      self.show()
  
   def paintEvent(self, event):
      qp = QPainter()
      qp.begin(self)
      qp.setPen(QColor(Qt.red))
      qp.setFont(QFont('Arial', 20))
  
      qp.drawText(10,50, "hello Pyth
  on")
      qp.setPen(QColor(Qt.blue))
      qp.drawLine(10,100,100,100)
      qp.drawRect(10,150,150,100)
  
      qp.setPen(QColor(Qt.yellow))
      qp.drawEllipse(100,50,100,50)
      qp.drawPixmap(220,10,QPixmap("python.jpg"))
      qp.fillRect(200,175,150,100,QBrush(Qt.SolidPattern))
      qp.end()
  
def main():
   app = QApplication(sys.argv)
   ex = Example()
   sys.exit(app.exec_())
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
   main()

The above code produces the following output −
