PyQtGraph
=========

A pure-Python graphics library for PyQt/PySide/PyQt5/PySide2

Copyright 2020 Luke Campagnola, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

<http://www.pyqtgraph.org>

PyQtGraph is intended for use in mathematics / scientific / engineering applications.
Despite being written entirely in python, the library is fast due to its
heavy leverage of numpy for number crunching, Qt's GraphicsView framework for
2D display, and OpenGL for 3D display.

Requirements
------------

* Python 2.7, or 3.x
* Required
  * PyQt 4.8+, PySide, PyQt5, or PySide2
  * `numpy`
* Optional
  * `scipy` for image processing
  * `pyopengl` for 3D graphics
  * `hdf5` for large hdf5 binary format support

Qt Bindings Test Matrix

The following table represents the python environments we test in our CI system.  Our CI system uses Ubuntu 18.04, Windows Server 2019, and macOS 10.15 base images.

* pyqtgraph has had some incompatibilities with PySide2 versions 5.6-5.11, and we recommend you avoid those versions if possible
* on macOS with Python 2.7 and Qt4 bindings (PyQt4 or PySide) the openGL related visualizations do not work reliably
