pyqtgraph | Fast data visualization and GUI tools | Data Visualization library

I've been trying to embed a graph into my application using pyqtgraph's PlotWidget. It seemed simple enough while following this tutorial. I have managed to show a graph well enough, the problem is that the graph looks broken. Here is an image of the most simple app I could make to show the problem:

Bugged graph app

I used the following code:

I have a code that generates random matrices of 0's and 1's, and I'd like to convert these matrices into scatter plots, where the coordinate corresponds to the matrix row/column, and the color of the scatter point corresponds to the value (red if 0, blue if 1 for example).

I've been able to do this with matplotlib, but my use-case involves generating thousands of these images and matplotlib is quite slow for this purpose. For this reason I've been trying to use pyctgraph, but am running into some trouble.

Matplotlib code:

I am making a scrolling graph which will plot real-time sensor data, with time on the x axis. I am a bit confused by the behavior of tickStrings.

My code is based on the example below (from here). As the number of points plotted increases, the number of x axis strings varies - sometimes it increases and sometimes it decreases . It stabilizes once the deque is full length and the 'scrolling' begins.

Is it possible to keep the spacing between tick strings the same as the number of plotted points increases? I guess that it might be possible use an approach where blank tick strings are replaced as new data is added, but don't know how to do that.

Edit: An example of what I wish to achieve is here.

So I am making a GUI using Pyqt6 and want to add graphs inside the Gui with other data, SO when I try adding the graph i get the error bellow:

call: addWidget(self, QWidget): argument 1 has unexpected type 'PlotWidget' addWidget(self, QWidget, int, int, alignment: Qt.AlignmentFlag = Qt.Alignment()): argument 1 has unexpected type 'PlotWidget' addWidget(self, QWidget, int, int, int, int, alignment: Qt.AlignmentFlag = Qt.Alignment()): argument 1 has unexpected type 'PlotWidget'

The code I have

I am trying to make a scatter plot with '|' symbol (as of matplotlib) in pyqtgraph. This symbol is not available in pyqtgraph. Could anyone know what should I make to reproduce it?

I am trying to use PyQt5 to show two widgets, the first one is a plot of sin, cos and tan function. I am using the pyqtgraph and used the code that was found in the answer of this question. I am also using another widget that draws a cube using PyOpenGL, by taking the example found in this link. I am trying to show this two widgets in one main widget, which is the main window. My approach is the following

1. Take a main widget.
2. In the main widget, use a QVBoxLayout()
3. In the QVBoxLayout, at two widgets mentioned above

But when I am running the code, only the plot that is using the pyqtgraph is shown but not the cube that is drawn using PyOpenGL. After a little bit debugging, I was able to find out that the height of the cube widget is setting to 0 by default. I am not sure why this is hapenning. I tried calling glWidget.resize(640,480). But it didn't work. I am new on working with PyQt and PyOpenGL. I think I am missing some details that will allow the height of the glWidget to be greater than 0, if my assumption is correct. Also I am not sure if this is actually possible to do. My current code is given below, it is a little bit messy.

I'm trying to make a tool for my lab for manual image registration--where the user can select some points on two different images to align them. I made this in matplotlib, but zooming in/out was way too slow (I think because the images we're aligning are pretty high res). Is there a good way to do that in pyqtgraph? I just need to be able to select points on two image plots side by side and display where the point selections were.

Currently I have the images in ImageViews and I tried doing it with imv.scene.sigMouseClicked.connect(mouse_click), but in mouse_click(evt) evt.pos(), evt.scenePos(), and evt.screenPos() all gave coordinates that weren't in the image's coordinates. I also played around with doing the point selection with ROI free handles (since I could get the correct coordinates from those), but it doesn't seem like you could color the handles, which isn't a total deal-breaker I was wondering if there was a better option. Is there a better way to do this?

In one window, I have a button that, when clicked, I want to execute a method from another module. This method takes an indeterminate amount of time to execute and depends on user input in the terminal. This method creates a file and repeatedly opens it, writes things to the file, and closes the file. At the same time this is running I have a matplotlib graph widget in the window with a plot that I want to update each time something new is written to the file by reading and plotting data from the most recent line of the file.

To check for changes to the file, I'm using QFileSystemWatcher. Right now, nothing happens while the userInputFunction() is running, but when it finishes I get "data/runName_Rec.txt dataFileCreated". If I then manually edit the file in any way the plotting happens as it should. So it seems the watcher only starts working again and sees that there has been a change in the directory after the userInputFunction() finishes.

How do I do the multithreading correctly so that the watcher works while userInputFunction() is running?

As I understand it, nothing in my application will respond until the user input function finishes if I have it running in the main thread of my QT program. To address this I tried moving the execution of the user input method into a worker thread following the example here: https://realpython.com/python-pyqt-qthread/. In this worker I have two methods. One simply does a for loop with a sleep() that takes a while exactly like the example. The other runs my userInputFunction(). The for loop method, run(), does not freeze the GUI. However, runScan() which exicutes the actual process I want does still freeze the GUI. I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm not sure if this means I'm not doing the threading properly or if something else is going on.

Here is a simplified sample of the relevant parts of my code.

I want to apply a colormap ("hot") only to a certain range of values of an image. I already know this functionality from matplotlib.pyplot.clim where you have to specify a minimum and a maximum value for the scaling. As I understood it, you should use setLevels([min,max]) for this. I have included a minimal example which shows that both representations are unfortunately not equivalent.
