This is a very basic example showing how to display a matplotlib plot within a Qt application using PySide. In case of problems try to change the rcParam entry "backend.qt4" to "PySide" (e.g. by in the matplotlibrc file).
1 #!/usr/bin/env python
2 import sys
3 import matplotlib
4 matplotlib.use('Qt4Agg')
5 import pylab
6
7 from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg as FigureCanvas
8 from matplotlib.figure import Figure
9
10 from PySide import QtCore, QtGui
11
12 if __name__ == '__main__':
13 app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
14
15 # generate the plot
16 fig = Figure(figsize=(600,600), dpi=72, facecolor=(1,1,1), edgecolor=(0,0,0))
17 ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
18 ax.plot([0,1])
19 # generate the canvas to display the plot
20 canvas = FigureCanvas(fig)
21
22 win = QtGui.QMainWindow()
23 # add the plot canvas to a window
24 win.setCentralWidget(canvas)
25
26 win.show()
27
28 sys.exit(app.exec_())
