[matplotlib-devel] PySide Backend

[Tiago Bonetti]

I was trying for dome time to use the Pyside Backend (qt4Agg with pySide),
with no success, but after reading the beckend code I've finally made it.
After installing the 1.0.1 version on my Ubuntu, I've noticed the
installation doesn't check for pySide what is strange yet, not the point
here...

The trick was quite simple, forcing the QtGui and QtCore to be declared from
pySide module. This is done inside qt4_compat.py checking for the string
inside: rcParams['backend.qt4'].
This dictionary I don't know where It comes from, so, just altering during
runtime was enough to make the example "embedding_in_qt4.py" work.
There is any better way to choose between pySide and pyQt? Couldn't they be
separated in to individual backends?

Yet  I understand this information is not easily available on the Internet,
so i'm trying to share it.

Thanks,
Tiago Ferreira Bonetti

Tiago,

Have you had a chance to look at the code in the latest developmental
branch?  There was some work over the summer on this, and I think it is
largely resolved, but testing would be appreciated.

Cheers!

It is what you have, the master branch.
