QGraphicsColorizeEffect class in PyQt library allows you to change the Color of a widget. It is a part of the QGraphicsEffect module, which provides a way to apply visual effects to widgets.

QGraphicsColorizeEffect can be used to change the color of an object by applying a tint of a specified color to it. The effect can be applied to any QGraphicsItem derived object, such as a QGraphicsTextItem, QGraphicsPixmapItem, QGraphicsRectItem, or QPushButton, among others.

You can create an instance of the class, set the color you want to apply to the object, and then set the effect to the object. For example:

c_effect = QGraphicsColorizeEffect()
c_effect.setColor(Qt.blue)
push_equal.setGraphicsEffect(c_effect)

This code creates an instance of QGraphicsColorizeEffect, sets the color to blue and assigns the effect to the push_equal button. The button’s color will change to blue after this code is executed.

You can use this class to change the color of any object that is derived from QGraphicsItem, and it can be useful when you want to indicate some status or highlight certain buttons in your UI.

Example of QGraphicsColorizeEffect class in PyQt:

#importing modules
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QLabel, QPushButton, QGraphicsColorizeEffect

#Create main window
class MyWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # Set the window properties
        self.setWindowTitle("QGraphicsColorizeEffect Example")
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 300, 200)

        # Create a label and a button
        self.label = QLabel("Hello World!", self)
        self.button = QPushButton("Change Color", self)
        self.button.move(100, 50)

        # Create an instance of QGraphicsColorizeEffect
        self.color_effect = QGraphicsColorizeEffect()
        self.color_effect.setColor(Qt.red)

        # Apply the effect to the label
        self.label.setGraphicsEffect(self.color_effect)

        # Connect the button's clicked signal to the change_color slot
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.change_color)

    def change_color(self):
        # Get the current color of the effect
        current_color = self.color_effect.color()

        # Change the color to the opposite of the current color
        if current_color == Qt.red:
            self.color_effect.setColor(Qt.blue)
        else:
            self.color_effect.setColor(Qt.red)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MyWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

This code creates a simple window with a label and a button. The label displays the text “Hello World!”, and the button has the text “Change Color”. The label’s text is initially red because it is set by the QGraphicsColorizeEffect instance, when the button is clicked, the change_color slot is called, it gets the current color of the effect, and then change it to the opposite of the current color.

You can see that the QGraphicsColorizeEffect class is very easy to use, it allows you to change the color of any object derived from QGraphicsItem, you can use it to change the color of any widget in your application and add a visual effect to it.
