Overview

Based on PythonQwt (a pure Python/PyQt reimplementation of the curve plotting Qwt C++ library, included in guiqwt base source code) and on the scientific modules NumPy and SciPy, guiqwt is a Python library providing efficient 2D data-plotting features (curve/image visualization and related tools) for interactive computing and signal/image processing application development. It is based on Qt graphical user interfaces library, and currently supports both PyQt4 and PyQt5.

Extension to PythonQwt:

• set of tools for curve and image plotting
• GUI-based application development helpers

Dependencies

Requirements

• Python 2.6+ or Python 3.2+
• PyQt4 4.3+ or PyQt5 5.5+
• PythonQwt 0.5+ (pure Python reimplementation of Qwt6 C++ library)
• guidata 1.7+
• NumPy 1.6+
• SciPy 0.7+
• Pillow

Optional modules

• spyderlib 2.1+ for GUI-embedded console support
• pydicom 0.9.3+ for DICOM I/O support

Building/Installation

All platforms:

The setup.py script supports the following extra options for optimizing the image scaler engine with SSE2/SSE3 processors: --sse2 or --sse3.

On GNU/Linux and MacOS platforms:

python setup.py build install

On Windows platforms with Microsoft Visual C/C++:

python setup.py build install

On Windows platforms with MinGW:

python setup.py build -c mingw32 install
