hey guys

I have been trying to create an image button, but every way I found a suggestion on how to try doesn't seem to work. 

        self.cube_btn = QtGui.QPushButton("Cube")
        icon = QtGui.QIcon("{0}winPub_PUB.png".format(self.icons))
        self.cylinder_btn.setIcon(icon)


ive tried that and I have tried setting the style sheet background-image and neither work. 

any suggestions?

ok, so the image shows up, but I need to control the size, only option I have found is the scale method, which looks to need 2QtInt but its not scaling the image.

Are you looking for  QPushButton.setIconSize(QSize) ? Or are you trying to transform the source image before setting it on the button?

hey Damon,... thanks...I swore I had tried that already, but that is working....I think I just past ints in rather than QSize  and thanks Justin, always appreciate all the help here.
