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

• PyQt 4.7+, PySide, PyQt5, or PySide2
• python 2.7, or 3.x
• NumPy
• For 3D graphics: pyopengl and qt-opengl
• Known to run on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Support

• Report issues on the GitHub issue tracker
• Post questions to the mailing list / forum or StackOverflow

Installation Methods

• From PyPI:
  • Last released version: pip install pyqtgraph
  • Latest development version: pip install git+https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph

Testing

To test the pyqtgraph library, clone the repository, and run pytest pyqtgraph. For more thurough testing, you can use tox, however the tox-conda plugin is required. Running tox on its own will run pytest pyqtgraph -vv on it's own, however if you want to run a specific test, you can run tox -- pyqtgraph/exporters/tests/test_svg::test_plotscene for example.

Dependencies include:

• pytest
• pytest-cov
• pytest-xdist
• tox
• tox-conda
