Thread: [Matplotlib-users] toolbar

Hello,

the following will display a figure with a plot. the figure will embed
the classic toolbar.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x=np.arange(0, 1, 0.1)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x)
plt.show()

from there, is it possible to add new buttons to the toolbar ? with
new fonction ?
or do I have to embed everythong in wxPython, GTK or others ?

thank you,
Philippe

Hi Pierre Raybaut a nice extension for what you are asking. You will need to
use Qt4Agg backend to use it. The code is at
http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/qt4_editor/

He doesn't seem like planning to add more onto this extension (
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=136)

This said, his code is easy to read and you should easily be able to extend
it according to your need.

Is there an minimal example file available showing how to activate this new
plot toolbar ?

changing the backend to Qt4Agg apparently is not sufficient.

You need to install matplotlib from the svn trunk.

I'm using the recent '0.99.3rc1' which does include the qt4_editor code.

Should the new toolbar just appear when you open a plot or is specific code  
needed to call it ?

If you have the qt4_editor code within your installation you are good to go
then. Just create a new plot while the Qt4Agg backend is pre-selected you
should have an additional icon on the existing navigation toolbar. From
there on you should see a window when you fire that icon.

It is migrated from Pierre Raybout's spyderlib (
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/)

Correction: '0.99.3rc1' does not include the qt4_editor code, so you
do need to get the source files from svn.

The feature is a nice addition to matplotlib..

without the svn version, you can save both files.
edit figureoptions.py to modify the import:
#import matplotlib.backends.qt4_editor.formlayout as formlayout
import formlayout

then, you can attach the nice dialog box to a Event, something like that
works:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import figureoptions

t = np.arange(0, 1+0.01, 0.01)
y = np.sin(2*np.pi*t)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(t, y, 'r-o')

def onclick(event):
    figureoptions.figure_edit(ax)

cid = fig.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', onclick)

plt.show()

click on the figure, you will get the dialog box. less cool than the button,
but not too bad.

I've done a few minor enhancements and corrections to the qt4_editor
(interactive plot options popup). Should I submit them to matplotlib
or directly to the original author Pierre Raybaut ?

What plot options do you think can be added to the qt4_editor ?
I've added a basic Legend option to the Axes tab and a Visible option
to the Curves tab.


formlayout.py:
validate color strings (for matplotlib)

figureoptions.py:
corrected marker=='none' bug
corrected matplotlib green in COLORS ('g': '#008000')
missing ',' and incorrect naming of some MARKERS
LINESTYLES are sorted. 'steps' removed from linestyles
