What module for plotting?

  • State “DONE” from “TODO” [2015-08-21 Fri 19:07]
  • Abandoning PyQwt, which seems to be an abandoned project.
  • Matplotlib - does not fit very well into PyQt (the programming styles conflict).
  • PyQtGraph seems to be the only candidate.
  • VisPy is still under heavy development and as of 2015-08-08 is very OpenGL focused. Hoping that it will be incorporated smoothly into PyQtGraph in the future.
  • PyQtGraph stable version does not support PyQt5 support, using devel branch from github.

Choice of plotting multiple datasets on same plot widget

Cannot attach to a specific dataset. Update `name` with something more meaningful. Allow option of plotting on new widget or current widget (Alt+p, Alt+Shift+p).

Plot multidimensional dataset

  • State “DONE” from “TODO” [2015-08-24 Mon 18:37]

Provide choice of rows/columns for multidimensional datasets when plotting.

  • Subha [2015-08-21 Fri]

The control over data source is getting unwieldy.

  • 1D data:
  • simple x=index, y=data or the other way round
  • compound x=index, y=column or the other way round
    • 2D data:
  • data in rows: x=column 1, y=column 2
  • data in cols: x=row 1, y= row 2
    • N-D data
  • data in k-th dimension, x=data[d0, d1, dk-1, :, dk+1, …, dN-1), y=data[d’0, d’1, d’k-1, :, d’k+1, …, d’N-1] where di is the index on dimension i e.g., N=3, data in Z (k=2), x=data[Xx, Yx, :], y=data[Xy,Yy, :] either of these can also be the index.

Plot compound dataset

  • It will be useful to plot data against column names. For example, if each column corresponds to a year.

Add control for configuring line style, color etc.

Zooming in mousemode 1 hangs in mouseMoveEvent on cygwin64

After selecting Mouse mode 1 from context menu in a PlotWidget when I try to zoom into a rectangular region, the window freezes. Keyboard interrupt on he terminal gives:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pyqtgraph/widgets/GraphicsView.py”, line 360, in mouseMoveEvent def mouseMoveEvent(self, ev): KeyboardInterrupt

Interestingly, standalone plotwidget works. One embedded in a QMdiSubWindow poses the problem. This occurs with devel branch with PyQt5/python3.4 installed on cygwin64 (latest) on Windows 7. Works fine with Anaconda on the same system.

keep just one parameter tree visible

and update it depending on which plotwidget is selected. Also use tabs in stead of horizontal display.

Issues with PyQt5

conda create -n pyqt5 python conda activate pyqt5 conda install numpy conda install h5py

There was a version mismatch between qt5 (5.4) and available pyq5(5.3.2) and this caused the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “c:\cygwin64\home\Subhasis\src\dataviz\dataviz\datasetplot.py”, line 49, in <module> from PyQt5.QtCore import (Qt, pyqtSignal) ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Then I tried:

conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/inso pyqt5

Still error:

[pyqt5] C:\Users\Subhasis\Anaconda3\envs\pyqt5\Lib\site-packages>python c:\cygwin64\home\Subhasis\src\dataviz\dataviz\dataviz.py Traceback (most recent call last): File “C:\Users\Subhasis\Anaconda3\envs\pyqt5\lib\site-packages\pyqtgraph\Qt.py”, line 25, in <module> import PyQt4 ImportError: No module named ‘PyQt4’

....

Traceback (most recent call last): File “c:\cygwin64\home\Subhasis\src\dataviz\dataviz\dataviz.py”, line 59, in <module> from hdftreewidget import HDFTreeWidget File “c:\cygwin64\home\Subhasis\src\dataviz\dataviz\hdftreewidget.py”, line 61, in <module> from pyqtgraph import parametertree as ptree File “C:\Users\Subhasis\Anaconda3\envs\pyqt5\lib\site-packages\pyqtgraph\__init__.py”, line 13, in <module> from .Qt import QtGui File “C:\Users\Subhasis\Anaconda3\envs\pyqt5\lib\site-packages\pyqtgraph\Qt.py”, line 32, in <module> raise Exception(“PyQtGraph requires either PyQt4 or PySide; neither package could be imported.”) Exception: PyQtGraph requires either PyQt4 or PySide; neither package could be imported.

Needed the development sources of PyQtGraph:

pip install git+https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph.git

Still problem:

[pyqt5] C:\Users\Subhasis\Anaconda3\envs\pyqt5\Lib\site-packages>python c:\cygwin64\home\Subhasis\src\dataviz\dataviz\dataviz.py This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “windows”.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Finally this worked:

conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/inso pyqt5 qt5

Import data from binary files

  • When creating a new dataset, provide option for selecting a file
  • Also allow more complex data type specification …
  • regular dataset - number of dimensions, length of each dimension
  • compound dataset - data type of each column
  • data type of each field (include length and encoding for string)
  • endianness for binary data
