`plot`: 1D and 2D Plot widgets¶

This package provides a set of Qt widgets for plotting curves and images.

The plotting API is inherited from the PyMca plot API and is mostly compatible with it.

Those widgets supports interaction (e.g., zoom, pan, selections).

Note

This package currently depends on matplotlib.

The silx.gui.plot package provides the following plotting widgets:

Widget	Description
	`PlotWidget` is the base Qt widget providing a plot area. Other plot widgets are based on this one and provides the same API.
	`PlotWindow` adds a toolbar to `PlotWidget`. The content of this toolbar can be configured from the `PlotWindow` constructor or by hiding its content afterward.
	`Plot1D` is a `PlotWindow` configured with tools useful for curves.
	`Plot2D` is a `PlotWindow` configured with tools useful for images.
	`ImageView` adds side histograms to a `Plot2D` widget.
	`StackView` is a widget designed to display an image from a stack of images in a `PlotWindow` widget, with a frame browser to navigate in the stack. The profile tool can do a 2D profile on the stack of images.

It also provides (and uses) widgets that can be attached to a PlotWidget:

Widget	Description
	`PlotTools.PositionInfo` is a widget displaying mouse position and information of a `PlotWidget` associated to the mouse position.
	`PlotTools.LimitsToolBar` is a QToolBar displaying and controlling the limits of a `PlotWidget`.
