Embed A Pyqtgraph Plot Into A Qt .ui?

first of all I hope you have me some patience since I'm new on these kind of projects and I also hope not to be asking dumb questions. That being said, my main objective is to crea

Solution 1:

What is promoted through Qt Designer is a Widget, ie a class, so it can not be directly promoted, what we must do is place it inside a class as shown below:

Plotter.py

classCustomWidget(pg.GraphicsWindow):
    pg.setConfigOption('background', 'w')
    pg.setConfigOption('foreground', 'k')
    ptr1 = 0def__init__(self, parent=None, **kargs):
        pg.GraphicsWindow.__init__(self, **kargs)
        self.setParent(parent)
        self.setWindowTitle('pyqtgraph example: Scrolling Plots')
        p1 = self.addPlot(labels =  {'left':'Voltage', 'bottom':'Time'})
        self.data1 = np.random.normal(size=10)
        self.data2 = np.random.normal(size=10)
        self.curve1 = p1.plot(self.data1, pen=(3,3))
        self.curve2 = p1.plot(self.data2, pen=(2,3))

        timer = pg.QtCore.QTimer(self)
        timer.timeout.connect(self.update)
        timer.start(2000) # number of seconds (every 1000) for next updatedefupdate(self):
        self.data1[:-1] = self.data1[1:]  # shift data in the array one sample left# (see also: np.roll)
        self.data1[-1] = np.random.normal()
        self.ptr1 += 1
        self.curve1.setData(self.data1)
        self.curve1.setPos(self.ptr1, 0)
        self.data2[:-1] = self.data2[1:]  # shift data in the array one sample left# (see also: np.roll)
        self.data2[-1] = np.random.normal()
        self.curve2.setData(self.data2)
        self.curve2.setPos(self.ptr1,0)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    w = CustomWidget()
    w.show()
    QtGui.QApplication.instance().exec_()

Before proceeding I will assume that the files have the following structure:

.
├── main.py
└── Plotter.py

1. The first thing to do is choose the widget:

2. Then we right click on this and choose the option to promote to..:

3. In the dialog box we place CustomWidget in Promoted Class Name and Plotter.h in Header File, then press the Add and Promote button.

4. Then we convert our .ui file to .py
