I want to embed a pie chart of data produced by an analytics class method in my PyQt GUI. Using PyPlot or PyLab I have been able to plot the chart but only in a separate window.
class MyMplCanvas(FigureCanvas): def __init__(self, parent=None, width=5, height=4, dpi=100): fig = Figure(figsize=(width, height), dpi=dpi) self.axes = fig.add_subplot(111) self.compute_initial_figure() FigureCanvas.__init__(self, fig) self.setParent(parent) FigureCanvas.setSizePolicy(self, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding) FigureCanvas.updateGeometry(self) Above is the canvas in which the pie chart should be displayed. I think I must use the self.axes parameter in embedding the chart but I don't know. Below is the code I have thus far for the pie chart:
class UsersPlatformPie(MyMplCanvas): def compute_initial_figure(self): UsersPerCountry, UsersPerPlatform = Analytics.UsersPerCountryOrPlatform() labels = [] sizes = [] print UsersPerPlatform for p, c in sorted(UsersPerPlatform.iteritems()): labels.append(p) sizes.append(c) colors = ['turquoise', 'yellowgreen', 'firebrick', 'lightsteelblue', 'royalblue'] pylab.pie(sizes, colors = colors, labels = labels, autopct = '%1.1f%%', shadow = True) pylab.title('Users Per Platform') pylab.gca().set_aspect('1'); pylab.show() I think this is superfluous but below is the establishment of the widget.
class Ui_MainWindow(object): def setupUi(self, MainWindow): ... self.main_widget = QtGui.QWidget(MainWindow) l = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self.main_widget) UPP = UsersPlatformPie(self.main_widget, width=5, height=4, dpi=100) l.addWidget(UPP) self.main_widget.setFocus() MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.main_widget) I am basing this code on this. I apologise for the code heavy nature of this question but I think at least the first two segments are necessary. Advice on either a new way of plotting the pie chart or connecting my pie chart to the canvas above will be much appreciated.
