Question about PyQt4 GUI and Matplotlib plots. I have standard PyQt GUI (call it "master_GUI.py") with buttons that call external modules (let's call it "slave.py") to do read/store data, do calculations based on that data, and create Matplotlib plots. I have no issues creating/displaying the plots when I just run "slave.py." But if I call that program from "master_GUI.py," I do not get any plots displayed. I know "slave.py" is called.

Q: If I want to display any Matplotlib plot(s) through a PyQT GUI, do I need to embed it into the GUI window? or is there an easy way to create plots in a new window through my standalone "slave.py"? How would I do the later?

Thanks. So if I want to be able to connect Matplotlib plots with the PyQT UI, then I embedding is the only option? – pikarawr May 25 '16 at 20:54
I believe that's the simplest way. I can't imagine someone maintaining two graphical toolkits (Qt and Tk) at the same time. – Felipe Lema May 25 '16 at 21:34
I see! Thank you. I'll look into it – pikarawr Jun 01 '16 at 22:30
