Hi,
I am using the following code to generate png files with PyQtGraph.
The code works quite well, but unfortunately, the first loop / picture
("0exported_image.png", that is: runner = 0) does not have any data in the
output picture (respectively: has only default values in the exported
graph).
I additionally set a manual breakpoint in "update_data" and looked at the
attributes of the class instance for runner = 0 and runner >0. It strikes
that at several parts of the object tree the "picture" is set for runner
>0, but is not for runner = 0:
"picture": {
"py/object": "PyQt5.QtGui.QPicture"
},
This is the code I use. Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason
for this?
Thanks in advance.
