Overview

Based on PythonQwt (a pure Python/PyQt reimplementation of the curve plotting Qwt C++ library, included in plotpy base source code) and on the scientific modules NumPy and SciPy, plotpy is a Python library providing efficient 2D data-plotting features (curve/image visualization and related tools) for interactive computing and signal/image processing application development. It is based on Qt graphical user interfaces library, and currently supports both PyQt4 and PyQt5.

Extension to PythonQwt:

• set of tools for curve and image plotting
• GUI-based application development helpers

Dependencies

Requirements

• Python 2.6+ or Python 3.2+
• PyQt4 4.3+ or PyQt5 5.5+
• NumPy 1.6+
• SciPy 0.7+
• Pillow

PythonQwt is no longer required as it is now embedded in plotpy.

Optional modules

• spyder 2.1+ or 3.0+ for GUI-embedded console support
• pydicom 0.9.3+ for DICOM I/O support

Building/Installation
