For my app I'm trying to use matplotlib together with PyQt4. I tried to make the background of the matplotlib figures transparent as in Matplotlib / PyQT4: transparent figure However the result is this:
while the background is like this:
It's like the background is rescaled in the matplotlib figure or a part of the background of the QWidget in PyQT4 is copied to another place. it's very difficult to make the code short. I will take 1 example from 1 graph:
class MyMplCanvas(FigureCanvas):
"""Ultimately, this is a QWidget (as well as a FigureCanvasAgg)."""
def __init__(self, parent=None):
fig = Figure(facecolor='None',edgecolor='None')
self.axes = fig.add_subplot(111,autoscale_on=False,axisbg='none')
self.fig.patch.set_alpha(0)
The rest of the code is based on the example on Matplotlib http://matplotlib.org/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_qt4.html
I have not been able to solve this problem. So is it possible to make the background really transparent ?
