Figure with pyQt

That's great. I'm a real newbie with mpl and I would like to know how to
change figure after a PyQt-Event.
That's must be simple but I don't see how to do this. My idea would be for
example to show different kinds of draw like for example the sin function
and another function. The users just have to click on some button. This is
only to understand the way mpl manage changes in the figure.

If someone could helpme that would be greater than great.

Regards.
Christophe.

You'll have to excuse some of the comments in the code (it's in a constant

state of revision), but this is a basic PyQt4/matplotlib widget that I use
quite often and can be embedded using QtDesigner as well. You'll
obviously need PyQt4, Matplotlib, and Numpy to run it. Of course mods can
be made as you see fit for your particular application.

I should note that Ctrl+Z zooms using the Spanselector and the top of the

drawn span is the max Y and the the min Y always defaults to 0 (this works
for my data sets). Ctrl+A zooms out. Save to csv is also an option
(Ctrl+Alt+S)--this can fail if you've a weird data set. Ctrl+C copies a png of
the current figure to the user's home directory (works for both Linux and
Windows) and also puts the image on the current clipboard.

I've also added an option to make multiple plot layouts that are stored in

a dictionary that can be accessed to plot to the given axes. If anyone has
a more elegant solution please share. Let me know if you've questions.

Cheers,

Brian

Hello,
I would like to see the following example

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in

_qt

4.html .
In fact, I don't undrestand how to add the figure to the screen (I'm a
real
beginner with matplotlib but not with PyQt).

Thanks for any kind of help.

Take a look at the matplotlib widgets example referenced below. It
uses mpl widgets rather than qt widgets, but it should make clear the
logic of updating plot properties connected to callbacks
