Dear PyMOL users, I would like to plot a graph by means of matplotlib library and call it from PyMOL as a separate Tkinter (Tk) window. It seems that this task is not simple, since the it requires several threads as well as some tune adjustment of matplotlib/Tk (https://github.com/speleo3/pymol-psico/blob/master/psico/matplotlib_fix.py). Matplotlib offers a so-called interactive mode, which I implemented in the simplified example below. This code works well on Windows if I install it as a plugin. In contrast, it crashes on Mac and also when I run it from the cmd with command "run".
Question: How to create a new Tk window/thread in the PyMOL session and output matplotlib graph on it? from pymol import cmd, stored from Tkinter import * import numpy import matplotlib matplotlib.use('TkAgg') class Plotter: def plotDistances(self, x, y): plt.figure() plt.plot(x, y, 'o') plt.tight_layout() plt.ion() plt.show() graph1 = Plotter() xtest = numpy.linspace(1, 300, 300) ytest = numpy.linspace(1, 300, 300) graph1.plotDistances(xtest,ytest) -- Dinar Abdullin PhD student Institut fuer Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie Wegelerstr. 12 D-53115 Bonn Tel.: +49(0)228-732572 Fax: +49(0)228-732073 E-Mail: abdul...@pc.uni-bonn.de WWW: http://www.schiemann.uni-bonn.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
