I'm presenting Matplotlib charts in PyQt, and I need to blank the screen for 5 seconds in-between the charts. For some reason the chart is never hidden, rather a delay of 5 seconds before presenting new chart. I believe this is todo with PyQt threading. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

self.centralWidget().hide()
time.sleep(5)
self.newChart()

Threading has nothing to do with this: you're blocking the event loop, which is wrong. Use a QTimer. – musicamante Dec 12 '22 at 14:15
