I have done GUI construction but not in Python. From other stack exchange questions and my own investigation. It looks like I want to use enaml and traits for the bulk of this work. Are there any links or references to help me get started.

This is a scientific application integrating matplotlib plots and text boxes and buttons (Very simple I think). I have gone through this example but don't understand it too well http://code.enthought.com/projects/traits/docs/html/tutorials/traits_ui_scientific_app.html

I have also gone through the Enthough Chaco examples and don't get very far. Has somebody built a program that I could run and look at their code? Or is their a repository of examples I am not aware of? I found the enaml examples but the example with matplotlib is basic and does not show me how to connect my algorithms to the plots. Thanks in advance!

Not a full answer, but for additional context:

1) Use https://github.com/nucleic/enaml, along with https://github.com/enthought/traits-enaml

2) Example: https://github.com/nucleic/enaml/blob/master/examples/widgets/mpl_canvas.enaml

  • Thanks Jonathan traits-enaml seems to be what I need but I get the following error API 'QDate' has already been set to version 1 when i execute `code`from enaml.qt.qt_application import QtApplication – Michael Wallace Feb 20 '15 at 17:18
  • actually I just got an example to work. I use spyder normally to code in and spyder and QT don't play well together on my Windows system. So I closed spyder and the program runs and a matplotlib plot comes up in a window. – Michael Wallace Feb 20 '15 at 17:30
  • Michael, likely the compatibility problem with spyder and Qt would be the same as it is on the Canopy GUI running in PyLab mode. See https://support.enthought.com/entries/64158730-Running-a-Qt-program-from-the-Canopy-GUI – Jonathan March Mar 10 '15 at 15:16
