# PythonQwt: Qt plotting widgets for Python
<img src="http://pythonhosted.org/PythonQwt/_images/panorama.png">
The `PythonQwt` project was initiated to solve -at least temporarily- the
obsolescence issue of `PyQwt` (the Python-Qwt C++ bindings library) which is
no longer maintained. The idea was to translate the original Qwt C++ code to
Python and then to optimize some parts of the code by writing new modules
based on NumPy and other libraries.
The `PythonQwt` package consists of a single Python package named `qwt` and
of a few other files (examples, doc, ...).
See [documentation](http://pythonhosted.org/PythonQwt/) for more details on
the library and [changelog](CHANGELOG.md) for recent history of changes.
## Copyrights
#### Main code base
- Copyright © 2002 Uwe Rathmann, for the original Qwt C++ code
- Copyright © 2015 Pierre Raybaut, for the Qwt C++ to Python translation and
optimization
- Copyright © 2015 Pierre Raybaut, for the PythonQwt specific and exclusive
Python material
#### PyQt, PySide and Python2/Python3 compatibility modules
- Copyright © 2009-2013 Pierre Raybaut
- Copyright © 2013-2015 The Spyder Development Team
#### Some examples
- Copyright © 2003-2009 Gerard Vermeulen, for the original PyQwt code
- Copyright © 2015 Pierre Raybaut, for the PyQt5/PySide port and further
developments (e.g. ported to PythonQwt API)
## License
The `qwt` Python package was partly (>95%) translated from Qwt C++ library:
the associated code is distributed under the terms of the LGPL license. The
rest of the code was either wrote from scratch or strongly inspired from MIT
licensed third-party software.
See included [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for more details about licensing terms.
## Overview
The `qwt` package is a pure Python implementation of `Qwt` C++ library with
the following limitations.
The following `Qwt` classes won't be reimplemented in `qwt` because more
powerful features already exist in `guiqwt`: `QwtPlotZoomer`,
`QwtCounter`, `QwtEventPattern`, `QwtPicker`, `QwtPlotPicker`.
Only the following plot items are currently implemented in `qwt` (the only
plot items needed by `guiqwt`): `QwtPlotItem` (base class), `QwtPlotItem`,
`QwtPlotMarker`, `QwtPlotSeriesItem` and `QwtPlotCurve`.
See "Overview" section in [documentation](http://pythonhosted.org/PythonQwt/)
for more details on API limitations when comparing to Qwt.
## Dependencies
### Requirements ###
- Python >=2.6 or Python >=3.2
- PyQt4 >=4.4 or PyQt5 >= 5.5
- NumPy >= 1.5
- guidata >= 1.7 for the GUI-based test launcher
## Installation
From the source package:
```bash
python setup.py install
```
## Examples/tests
The GUI-based test launcher may be executed from Python:
```python
from qwt import tests
tests.run()
```
or from the command line:
```bash
PythonQwt-tests
```
