    <p>What is the best way to embed an interactive 3D plot in a PySide GUI? I have looked at some examples on here of 2D plots embedded in a PySide GUI:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6723527/getting-pyside-to-work-with-matplotlib">Getting PySide to Work With Matplotlib</a><br> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16188037/matplotlib-interactive-graph-embedded-in-pyqt">Matplotlib Interactive Graph Embedded In PyQt</a><br> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16824718/python-matplotlib-pyside-fast-timetrace-scrolling/16825869#16825869">Python/Matplotlib/Pyside Fast Timetrace Scrolling</a></p> <p>However, the functionality that I'm looking for is not quite the same. The figure needs to rotate and zoom based on mouse input from the user in the same way as if it were drawn in a separate window. </p> <p>I'm trying to avoid having to go in manually and write functions for transforming mouse click + move into a figure rotate and canvas repaint--even if that's the only way, I'm not even sure how to do that. But I figure (no pun intended) that there should be a way to reuse the functionality already present for creating 3D plots in their own windows.</p> <p>Here's my code. It works as intended, but the plot is not interactive. Any advice is appreciated!</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I fixed the use of FigureCanvas according to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/380231/tcaswell">tcaswell</a>'s corrections. I also added a bit from the matplotlib <a href="http://matplotlib.org/users/event_handling.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Event Handling and Picking</a> documentation to show that the figure seems to be getting the events upon mouseclick.</p> <p><strong>Final Edit:</strong> The following code now produces the plot as desired.</p> <pre><code># -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from PySide import QtCore, QtGui import numpy as np import matplotlib import sys # specify the use of PySide matplotlib.rcParams['backend.qt4'] = "PySide" # import the figure canvas for interfacing with the backend from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg \ as FigureCanvas # import 3D plotting from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D # @UnusedImport from matplotlib.figure import Figure # Auto-generated code from QT Designer ---------------------------------------- class Ui_MainWindow(object): def setupUi(self, MainWindow): MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow") MainWindow.resize(750, 497) self.centralwidget = QtGui.QWidget(MainWindow) self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget") self.horizontalLayout_2 = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(self.centralwidget) self.horizontalLayout_2.setObjectName("horizontalLayout_2") self.frame_2 = QtGui.QFrame(self.centralwidget) self.frame_2.setFrameShape(QtGui.QFrame.StyledPanel) self.frame_2.setFrameShadow(QtGui.QFrame.Raised) self.frame_2.setObjectName("frame_2") self.verticalLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self.frame_2) self.verticalLayout.setObjectName("verticalLayout") self.label = QtGui.QLabel(self.frame_2) self.label.setObjectName("label") self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.label) self.label_2 = QtGui.QLabel(self.frame_2) self.label_2.setObjectName("label_2") self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.label_2) self.lineEdit = QtGui.QLineEdit(self.frame_2) sizePolicy = QtGui.QSizePolicy( QtGui.QSizePolicy.Minimum, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Fixed) sizePolicy.setHorizontalStretch(0) sizePolicy.setVerticalStretch(0) sizePolicy.setHeightForWidth( self.lineEdit.sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth()) self.lineEdit.setSizePolicy(sizePolicy) self.lineEdit.setObjectName("lineEdit") self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.lineEdit) spacerItem = QtGui.QSpacerItem( 20, 40, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Minimum, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding) self.verticalLayout.addItem(spacerItem) self.horizontalLayout_2.addWidget(self.frame_2) self.frame_plot = QtGui.QFrame(self.centralwidget) self.frame_plot.setMinimumSize(QtCore.QSize(500, 0)) self.frame_plot.setFrameShape(QtGui.QFrame.StyledPanel) self.frame_plot.setFrameShadow(QtGui.QFrame.Raised) self.frame_plot.setObjectName("frame_plot") self.horizontalLayout_2.addWidget(self.frame_plot) MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget) self.retranslateUi(MainWindow) QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow) def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow): MainWindow.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate( "MainWindow", "MainWindow", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8)) self.label.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("MainWindow", "This is a qlabel.", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8)) self.label_2.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("MainWindow", "And this is another one.", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8)) self.lineEdit.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("MainWindow", "Text goes here.", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8)) # Auto-generated code from QT Designer ---------------------------------------- class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow): def __init__(self, parent=None): super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent) # intialize the window self.ui = Ui_MainWindow() self.ui.setupUi(self) # create the matplotlib widget and put it in the frame on the right self.ui.plotWidget = Mpwidget(parent=self.ui.frame_plot) class Mpwidget(FigureCanvas): def __init__(self, parent=None): self.figure = Figure(facecolor=(0, 0, 0)) super(Mpwidget, self).__init__(self.figure) self.setParent(parent) # plot random 3D data self.axes = self.figure.add_subplot(111, projection='3d') self.data = np.random.random((3, 100)) self.axes.plot(self.data[0, :], self.data[1, :], self.data[2, :]) if __name__ == "__main__": app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) mw = MainWindow() mw.show() # adjust the frame size so that it fits right after the window is shown s = mw.ui.frame_plot.size() mw.ui.plotWidget.setGeometry(1, 1, s.width() - 2, s.height() - 2) sys.exit(app.exec_()) </code></pre>

    1. COHave you looked at VPython? I know it does what you're looking for, but I have not tried embedding it in a PySide GUI before.

    2. COYes I have. I was very impressed at its power and simplicity--five minutes, and I had an animation of a ball bouncing up and down with gravity. However, after researching it a bit more, I couldn't find any cases where someone had tried embedding it in PySide.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
