QSvgWidget("path/to/image_on_my_hard_drive.svg")
I was wondering if it's possible to achieve the same result with an SVG embedded in my HDA? Alternatively, a regular pixmap or something would be okay too.
Using opdef: SVG image embedded in HDA in a PySide6 dialog?

I programmed a custom pyside dialog for my HDA and used QSvgWidget to display an icon (as a widget).

vanilla Python likely cant understand opdef:
However you can use hou. readFile() [www.sidefx.com] to read your file from opdef : section into a string and go from there

@tamte I was able to do this:
And it seems to work! Many thanks
from PySide6.QtSvgWidgets import QSvgWidget from PySide6.QtCore import QByteArray icon_data = hou.readFile("opdef:/Driver/at_deadline?IconSVG") icon_widget = QSvgWidget() icon_widget.load(QByteArray(icon_data)) icon_widget.setFixedSize(32, 32)
And it seems to work! Many thanks
