Segmentation fault in Pyqt

I am getting a segmentation fault when I try to declare a new image name. I can replace a existing image correctly. Why am I getting the error at the getSaveFileName dialog ??

Can anyone help me with the code.

import sys

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore, Qt

import numpy as np

from matplotlib.figure import Figure

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg as FigureCanvas

def randrange(n, vmin, vmax):

return (vmax-vmin)*np.random.rand(n) + vmin

class Example(QtGui.QWidget):

def __init__(self):

	super(Example, self).__init__()

	self.initUI()

    

def initUI(self):

	self.main_frame = QtGui.QWidget()

	self.dpi=100

	self.i=1

	self.fig = Figure((5.0, 5.0), dpi=self.dpi)

	self.scatterpts = []

	self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self.fig)

	self.canvas.setParent(self.main_frame)

	[self.ax](http://self.ax) = self.fig.gca(projection='3d')

	self.mpl_toolbar = NavigationToolbar(self.canvas, self.main_frame)

	self.btn = QtGui.QPushButton('Button', self)

	self.btn.resize(self.btn.sizeHint())

	self.btn.clicked.connect(self.drawplot)

	self.btn1 = QtGui.QPushButton('Save', self)

	self.btn1.resize(self.btn.sizeHint())

	self.btn1.clicked.connect(self.saveplot)

    

	self.setWindowTitle('Tooltips')    

	Box =QtGui.QVBoxLayout()

	Box.addWidget(self.canvas)

	Box.addWidget(self.btn)

	Box.addWidget(self.btn1)

	Box.addWidget(self.mpl_toolbar)

	self.main_frame.setLayout(Box)

	self.main_frame.show()

def drawplot(self):

	if self.i==0:

		for pt in self.scatterpts :

			pt.remove()

	self.scatterpts = []

	n = 500

	for c, m, zl, zh in [('r', 'o', -50, -25), ('b', '^', -30, -5)]:

		xs = randrange(n, 23, 32)

		ys = randrange(n, 0, 100)

		zs = randrange(n, zl, zh)

	pt = self.ax.scatter(xs, ys, zs, c=c, marker=m, s=40)

	self.scatterpts.append(pt)

	self.ax.set_xlabel('X Label')

	self.ax.set_ylabel('Y Label')

	self.ax.set_zlabel('Z Label')

	self.canvas.draw()

	self.canvas.print_figure('trial.png', dpi=self.dpi)

	self.i=0

def saveplot(self):

	fname = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, 'Save file', '/home/untitled.png', 'Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)')

	self.canvas.print_figure(fname, dpi=100)

def main():

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

ex = Example()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

if name == ‘main’:

main()

I am getting a segmentation fault when I try to declare a new image name. I
can replace a existing image correctly. Why am I getting the error at the
getSaveFileName dialog ??

[...]

fname = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, 'Save file',
'/home/untitled.png', 'Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)')

Here is the call signature:

QString getSaveFileName (QWidget parent = None, QString caption =
QString(), QString directory = QString(), QString filter = QString(),
Options options = 0)

You are passing a file name to a function argument that is expecting a
directory. Maybe that has something to do with it. Although, I don't
know why that would cause a crash, unless there is a bug in Qt/PyQt.

I think that QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName returns a tuple, the first element of which is the file name. You can ignore the second element by using:

fname, _ = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, 'Save file', '/home/untitled.png', 'Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)')

It is a problem with the dialog, if you set the option DontUseNativeDialog. then it works fine.

I guess that the problem is with Ubuntu 11.10.
