Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib + pyside

[Gerald S. <gd...@mr...>]

As Eric said Github master works with PySide.  If you can't wait for a 
release and you don't want to run the Github version of MPL you can use 
the following code to render a plot inside a PySide app.  Note that this 
will just show the plot image.  You won't get the tool bar, status bar 
or any other GUI elements.
