Pyqt get pixel position and value when mouse click

Question

I would like to know how i can select a pixel with a mouse click in an image (QImge) and get pixel position and value.

Thanks

This question is old but for everybody getting here, like me, this is my solution based on Jareds answer:

self.img = QImage('fname.png')
pixmap = QPixmap(QPixmap.fromImage(self.img))
img_label = QLabel()
img_label.setPixmap(pixmap)
img_label.mousePressEvent = self.getPixel

def self.getPixel(self, event):
    x = event.pos().x()
    y = event.pos().y()
    c = self.img.pixel(x,y)  # color code (integer): 3235912
    # depending on what kind of value you like (arbitary examples)
    c_qobj = QColor(c)  # color object
    c_rgb = QColor(c).getRgb()  # 8bit RGBA: (255, 23, 0, 255)
    c_rgbf = QColor(c).getRgbf()  # RGBA float: (1.0, 0.3123, 0.0, 1.0)
    return x, y, c_rgb

Make sure the size of the label matches the size of the image, otherwise the x and y mouse coords need to be transformed to image coords. And I guess it's also possible to use the .pixel() method directly on a pixmap as well, but the QImage object seems to perform better in my case.

self.image = QLabel()
self.image.setPixmap(QPixmap("C:\\myImg.jpg"))
self.image.setObjectName("image")
self.image.mousePressEvent = self.getPos

def getPos(self , event):
    x = event.pos().x()
    y = event.pos().y()

First you have to draw the image. You can do this my making a QLabel widget and call setPixmap. You need to convert your QImage to QPixmap before doing this (you can use QPixmap.fromImage(img)).

You can get mouse clicks by subclassing the QImage and intercepting mousePressEvent. Look up the pixel value with QImage.pixel().
