[matplotlib-devel] How to embed a matlibplot figure canvas into a pyqt4 GUI

[Matthew A. <mat...@ya...>]

Hi,
I've used Qt Designer to construct a GUI.  An element of the GUI is a QGridLayout.  I've been trying to display a matplotlib plot in this QGridLayout.  I'm new at Python and have been trying to figure this out for the last week without success.  Essentially I'm trying to use elements of the example shown here:user_interfaces example code: embedding_in_qt4.py — Matplotlib 1.4.2 documentation

in my code shown here:http://paste.ofcode.org/JA2Hm8cP4jYD4c9NXgVGaE

Lines 23-25 is the problem area.  The error I get now is:RuntimeError: super-class __init__() of type MyStaticMplCanvas was never called

Conceptually what I think I'm doing is:# Line 24  Create an object of type MyStaticMplCanvas called thePlot.  This object is essentially a QWidget.thePlot = MyStaticMplCanvas(self.main_widget)
# Line 25  Pass thePlot as an argument to the addWidget method of the gridLayout I created in Qt Designer.self.ui.gridLayout.addWidget(thePlot)

Thx for the help.  I've spent about twenty hour trying to figure out this myself.  Any help you can give me would be great!
Matt
