guiqwt.plot

The plot module provides the following features:

• guiqwt.plot.PlotManager: the plot manager is an object to link plots, panels and tools together for designing highly versatile graphical user interfaces

• guiqwt.plot.CurveWidget: a ready-to-use widget for curve displaying with an integrated and preconfigured plot manager providing the item list panel and curve-related tools

• guiqwt.plot.CurveDialog: a ready-to-use dialog box for curve displaying with an integrated and preconfigured plot manager providing the item list panel and curve-related tools

• guiqwt.plot.ImageWidget: a ready-to-use widget for curve and image displaying with an integrated and preconfigured plot manager providing the item list panel, the contrast adjustment panel, the cross section panels (along X and Y axes) and image-related tools (e.g. colormap selection tool)

• guiqwt.plot.ImageDialog: a ready-to-use dialog box for curve and image displaying with an integrated and preconfigured plot manager providing the item list panel, the contrast adjustment panel, the cross section panels (along X and Y axes) and image-related tools (e.g. colormap selection tool)

Examples

Simple example with the plot manager: even if this simple example does not justify the use of the plot manager (this is an unnecessary complication here), it shows how to use it. In more complex applications, using the plot manager allows to design highly versatile graphical user interfaces.

Reference

class guiqwt.plot.PlotManager(main)

Construct a PlotManager object, a ‘controller’ that organizes relations between plots (i.e. guiqwt.curve.CurvePlot or guiqwt.image.ImagePlot objects), panels, tools (see guiqwt.tools) and toolbars

add_plot(plot, plot_id=<class 'guiqwt.plot.DefaultPlotID'>)

Register a plot to the plot manager:

• plot: guiqwt.curve.CurvePlot or guiqwt.image.ImagePlot object

• plot_id (default id is the plot object’s id: id(plot)): unique ID identifying the plot (any Python object), this ID will be asked by the manager to access this plot later.

Plot manager’s registration sequence is the following:

1. add plots

2. add panels

3. add tools

set_default_plot(plot)

Set default plot

The default plot is the plot on which tools and panels will act.

get_default_plot()

Return default plot

The default plot is the plot on which tools and panels will act.

add_panel(panel)

Register a panel to the plot manager

Plot manager’s registration sequence is the following:

1. add plots

2. add panels

3. add tools

configure_panels()

Call all the registred panels ‘configure_panel’ methods to finalize the object construction (this allows to use tools registered to the same plot manager as the panel itself with breaking the registration sequence: “add plots, then panels, then tools”)

add_toolbar(toolbar, toolbar_id='default')

Add toolbar to the plot manager

toolbar: a QToolBar object toolbar_id: toolbar’s id (default id is string “default”)

set_default_toolbar(toolbar)

Set default toolbar

get_default_toolbar()

Return default toolbar

add_tool(ToolKlass, *args, **kwargs)

Register a tool to the manager

• ToolKlass: tool’s class (guiqwt builtin tools are defined in module guiqwt.tools)

• args: arguments sent to the tool’s class

• kwargs: keyword arguments sent to the tool’s class

Plot manager’s registration sequence is the following:

1. add plots

2. add panels

3. add tools

get_tool(ToolKlass)

Return tool instance from its class

add_separator_tool(toolbar_id=None)

Register a separator tool to the plot manager: the separator tool is just a tool which insert a separator in the plot context menu

set_default_tool(tool)

Set default tool

get_default_tool()

Get default tool

activate_default_tool()

Activate default tool

get_active_tool()

Return active tool

set_active_tool(tool=None)

Set active tool (if tool argument is None, the active tool will be the default tool)

get_plot(plot_id=<class 'guiqwt.plot.DefaultPlotID'>)

Return plot associated to plot_id (if method is called without specifying the plot_id parameter, return the default plot)

get_plots()

Return all registered plots

get_active_plot()

Return the active plot

The active plot is the plot whose canvas has the focus otherwise it’s the “default” plot

get_main()

Return the main (parent) widget

Note that for py:class:guiqwt.plot.CurveWidget or guiqwt.plot.ImageWidget objects, this method will return the widget itself because the plot manager is integrated to it.

get_panel(panel_id)

Return panel from its ID Panel IDs are listed in module guiqwt.panels

get_itemlist_panel()

Convenience function to get the item list panel

Return None if the item list panel has not been added to this manager

get_contrast_panel()

Convenience function to get the contrast adjustment panel

Return None if the contrast adjustment panel has not been added to this manager

set_contrast_range(zmin, zmax)

Convenience function to set the contrast adjustment panel range

This is strictly equivalent to the following:

# Here, *widget* is for example a CurveWidget instance
# (the same apply for CurvePlot, ImageWidget, ImagePlot or any
#  class deriving from PlotManager)
widget.get_contrast_panel().set_range(zmin, zmax)

get_xcs_panel()

Convenience function to get the X-axis cross section panel

Return None if the X-axis cross section panel has not been added to this manager

get_ycs_panel()

Convenience function to get the Y-axis cross section panel

Return None if the Y-axis cross section panel has not been added to this manager

update_cross_sections()

Convenience function to update the cross section panels at once

This is strictly equivalent to the following:

# Here, *widget* is for example a CurveWidget instance
# (the same apply for CurvePlot, ImageWidget, ImagePlot or any
#  class deriving from PlotManager)
widget.get_xcs_panel().update_plot()
widget.get_ycs_panel().update_plot()

get_toolbar(toolbar_id='default')

Return toolbar from its ID

toolbar_id: toolbar’s id (default id is string “default”)

get_context_menu(plot=None)

Return widget context menu – built using active tools

update_tools_status(plot=None)

Update tools for current plot

create_action(title, triggered=None, toggled=None, shortcut=None, icon=None, tip=None, checkable=None, context=1, enabled=None)

Create a new QAction

register_standard_tools()

Registering basic tools for standard plot dialog –> top of the context-menu

register_curve_tools()

Register only curve-related tools
