DynamicallyPlotWidget

The DynamicallyPlotWidget is a custom widget designed for creating dynamic or real-time plots in your application.

We started building this plugin by following this guide.

Getting Started

These instructions will guide you on how to install and use the DynamicallyPlotWidget.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Qt Creator
• PySide2
• Plotly (optional for plotting)

Development

The development of this widget involved creating a UI with Qt Creator, converting it to Python, and then adding functionality.

Creating the UI

1. Open Qt Creator and create a new project.
2. Design your UI by dragging and dropping widgets from the widget box onto the form.
3. Save your UI as a .ui file.

Converting the UI to Python

5. Use the pyside2-uic tool to convert the .ui file to a Python script:

pyside2-uic mainwindow.ui > ui_mainwindow.py

Adding Functionality

1. Import the generated Python script into your main Python file.
2. Create a new class that inherits from both QMainWindow and your UI class.
3. Implement the functionality in this new class.
