Getting PySide to work with matplotlib

Question

I have tried running the example code on the SciPy website, but I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \".\\matplotlibPySide.py\", line          


        

Answer 1

The example that you mention:

http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/PySide

works, but you might need to suggest the use of PySide:

...
matplotlib.use('Qt4Agg')
matplotlib.rcParams['backend.qt4']='PySide'
import pylab
...
