guiqwt.baseplot

The baseplot module provides the guiqwt plotting widget base class: guiqwt.baseplot.BasePlot. This is an enhanced version of PythonQwt’s QwtPlot plotting widget which supports the following features:

  • add to plot, del from plot, hide/show and save/restore plot items easily

  • item selection and multiple selection

  • active item

  • plot parameters editing

Warning

guiqwt.baseplot.BasePlot is rather an internal class than a ready-to-use plotting widget. The end user should prefer using guiqwt.plot.CurvePlot or guiqwt.plot.ImagePlot.

Reference

class guiqwt.baseplot.BasePlot(parent=None, section='plot')[source]

An enhanced QwtPlot class that provides methods for handling plotitems and axes better

It distinguishes activatable items from basic QwtPlotItems.

Activatable items must support IBasePlotItem interface and should be added to the plot using add_item methods.

Parameters:

painter (QPainter) – Painter used for drawing

Warning

drawCanvas calls drawItems what is also used for printing. Applications that like to add individual plot items better overload drawItems()

See also

Redraw the canvas.

Parameters:

  • canvasRect (QRectF) – Bounding rectangle where to paint

  • maps (list) – QwtPlot.axisCnt maps, mapping between plot and paint device coordinates

Note

Usually canvasRect is contentsRect() of the plot canvas. Due to a bug in Qt this rectangle might be wrong for certain frame styles ( f.e QFrame.Box ) and it might be necessary to fix the margins manually using QWidget.setContentsMargins()

insertItem(item)

Insert a plot item

Parameters:

item (qwt.plot.QwtPlotItem) – PlotItem

See also

removeItem()

Note

This was a member of QwtPlotDict in older versions.

insertLegend(legend, pos=None, ratio=-1)

Insert a legend

If the position legend is QwtPlot.LeftLegend or QwtPlot.RightLegend the legend will be organized in one column from top to down. Otherwise the legend items will be placed in a table with a best fit number of columns from left to right.

insertLegend() will set the plot widget as parent for the legend. The legend will be deleted in the destructor of the plot or when another legend is inserted.

Legends, that are not inserted into the layout of the plot widget need to connect to the legendDataChanged() signal. Calling updateLegend() initiates this signal for an initial update. When the application code wants to implement its own layout this also needs to be done for rendering plots to a document ( see QwtPlotRenderer ).

Parameters:
  • legend (qwt.legend.QwtAbstractLegend) – Legend

  • pos (QwtPlot.LegendPosition) – The legend’s position.

  • ratio (float) – Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, canvas and axes

Note

For top/left position the number of columns will be limited to 1, otherwise it will be set to unlimited.

Note

The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.

installEventFilter(self, a0: QObject | None)
invTransform(axisId, pos)

Warning

The position can be an x or a y coordinate, depending on the specified axis.

itemList(rtti=None)

A list of attached plot items.

Use caution when iterating these lists, as removing/detaching an item will invalidate the iterator. Instead you can place pointers to objects to be removed in a removal list, and traverse that list later.

Parameters:

rtti (int) – In case of QwtPlotItem.Rtti_PlotItem detach all items otherwise only those items of the type rtti.

Returns:

List of all attached plot items of a specific type. If rtti is None, return a list of all attached plot items.

replot()

Redraw the plot

If the autoReplot option is not set (which is the default) or if any curves are attached to raw data, the plot has to be refreshed explicitly in order to make changes visible.

setAutoReplot(tf=True)

Set or reset the autoReplot option

If the autoReplot option is set, the plot will be updated implicitly by manipulating member functions. Since this may be time-consuming, it is recommended to leave this option switched off and call replot() explicitly if necessary.

The autoReplot option is set to false by default, which means that the user has to call replot() in order to make changes visible.

Parameters:

tf (bool) – True or False. Defaults to True.

autoReplot()

setAxisAutoScale(axisId, on=True)

Enable autoscaling for a specified axis

This member function is used to switch back to autoscaling mode after a fixed scale has been set. Autoscaling is enabled by default.

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • on (bool) – On/Off

Note

The autoscaling flag has no effect until updateAxes() is executed ( called by replot() ).

setAxisFont(axisId, font)

Change the font of an axis

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • font (QFont) – Font

Warning

This function changes the font of the tick labels, not of the axis title.

setAxisLabelAlignment(axisId, alignment)

Change the alignment of the tick labels

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • alignment (Qt.Alignment) – Or’d Qt.AlignmentFlags

See also

qwt.scale_draw.QwtScaleDraw.setLabelAlignment()

setAxisLabelAutoSize(axisId, state)

Set tick labels automatic size option (default: on)

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • state (bool) – On/off

See also

qwt.scale_draw.QwtScaleDraw.setLabelAutoSize()

setAxisLabelRotation(axisId, rotation)

Rotate all tick labels

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • rotation (float) – Angle in degrees. When changing the label rotation, the label alignment might be adjusted too.

See also

setLabelRotation(), setAxisLabelAlignment()

setAxisMaxMajor(axisId, maxMajor)

Set the maximum number of major scale intervals for a specified axis

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • maxMajor (int) – Maximum number of major steps

See also

axisMaxMajor()

setAxisMaxMinor(axisId, maxMinor)

Set the maximum number of minor scale intervals for a specified axis

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • maxMinor (int) – Maximum number of minor steps

See also

axisMaxMinor()

setAxisScale(axisId, min_, max_, stepSize=0)

Disable autoscaling and specify a fixed scale for a selected axis.

In updateAxes() the scale engine calculates a scale division from the specified parameters, that will be assigned to the scale widget. So updates of the scale widget usually happen delayed with the next replot.

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • min (float) – Minimum of the scale

  • max (float) – Maximum of the scale

  • stepSize (float) – Major step size. If <code>step == 0</code>, the step size is calculated automatically using the maxMajor setting.

setAxisMaxMajor(), setAxisAutoScale(), axisStepSize(), qwt.scale_engine.QwtScaleEngine.divideScale()

setAxisScaleDiv(axisId, scaleDiv)

Disable autoscaling and specify a fixed scale for a selected axis.

The scale division will be stored locally only until the next call of updateAxes(). So updates of the scale widget usually happen delayed with the next replot.

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • scaleDiv (qwt.scale_div.QwtScaleDiv) – Scale division

setAxisScaleDraw(axisId, scaleDraw)

Set a scale draw

Parameters:
  • axisId (int) – Axis index

  • scaleDraw (qwt.scale_draw.QwtScaleDraw) – Object responsible for drawing scales.

By passing scaleDraw it is possible to extend QwtScaleDraw functionality and let it take place in QwtPlot. Please note that scaleDraw has to be created with new and will be deleted by the corresponding QwtScale member ( like a child object ).

Warning

The attributes of scaleDraw will be overwritten by those of the previous QwtScaleDraw.

updateAxes()

Rebuild the axes scales

In case of autoscaling the boundaries of a scale are calculated from the bounding rectangles of all plot items, having the QwtPlotItem.AutoScale flag enabled (QwtScaleEngine.autoScale()). Then a scale division is calculated (QwtScaleEngine.didvideScale()) and assigned to scale widget.

When the scale boundaries have been assigned with setAxisScale() a scale division is calculated (QwtScaleEngine.didvideScale()) for this interval and assigned to the scale widget.

When the scale has been set explicitly by setAxisScaleDiv() the locally stored scale division gets assigned to the scale widget.

The scale widget indicates modifications by emitting a QwtScaleWidget.scaleDivChanged() signal.

updateAxes() is usually called by replot().

setAxisAutoScale(), setAxisScale(), setAxisScaleDiv(), replot(), QwtPlotItem.boundingRect()

updateCanvasMargins()

Update the canvas margins

Plot items might indicate, that they need some extra space at the borders of the canvas by the QwtPlotItem.Margins flag.
