matplotlib_backend_qtquick

This package implements a QtQuick backend for matplotlib. It started from maplotlib_qtquick_playground, written by Frédéric Collonval, but it has been updated to work with the current version (3.2.1) of matplotlib.

Usage

In order to use matplotlib plots with QtQuick, do the following:

1. In your main.py, use QtQml.qmlRegisterType to register FigureCanvasQtQuickAgg under whichever name you want to use.
2. In your QML files, instantiate an object with the QML type defined above. Its objectName property specifies the name of the object that can be found in the QML engine. It can be retrieved in python with win.findChild(QtCore.QObject, "spectFigure"), for example, where "spectFigure" is the objectName in this case.
3. One can then pass this object as needed. This is the FigureCanvasQtQuickAgg object. The figure can be found in its figure property.

The test in the tests directory gives a simple example of how to use this package.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or better ways I should do this.
