Add QT GUI to Python for plotting graphics


Qt framework (with QT Creator IDE) can be used to create a fancy interfaces for Python GUI application. Plotting graphics on a GUI is possible with pyqtgraph library.

Installing pyqtgraph –
There are several ways of installing pyqtgraph depending on your needs.

If you are using Anaconda you can install with:

conda install -c anaconda pyqtgraph

Or with pip command:

pip install pyqtgraph

Creation of plot widgets with QT Creator –

Add the buttons, text areas and other stuffs as usually done with QT Creator. To create a plot area you need to follow the steps:

  1. Add widget to UI and give it a proper name like “widgetSignal”
  2. Promote the widget to pyqtgraph

Load UI to Python –

  1. In your python code call the UI you created with QT Creator.
  2. Create a sin wave for plotting
  3. Draw the graph on UI




from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic
import sys
import numpy as np
  
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
      
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
         # Load the UI Page
        self. ui = uic.loadUi('mainwindow.ui', self)
        # Create a sin wave
        x_time = np.arange(0, 100, 0.1);
        y_amplitude = np.sin(x_time)
          
        pltSignal = self.widgetSignal
        pltSignal.clear()
        pltSignal.setLabel('left', 'Signal Sin Wave', units ='(V)')
        pltSignal.setLabel('bottom', 'Time', units ='(sec)')
        pltSignal.plot(x_time, y_amplitude, clear = True)
  
        self.ui.show()
  
def main():
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
  
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
