QT widgets with matplotlib

[Teancum-Q]

Question

Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to import the ui.matplotlib with the QT widgets displayed. I see that the ui.plotly has the interactive windows, but not the matplotlib. I'm just typically more of a fan of matplotlib (syntactically). So i'm just wondering if this is a buried functionality( i know ui is running the qt backend) or will possibly be available in the future. Thank you for this great resource. I've really enjoyed using nicegui.

Hi @Teancum-Q,

Unfortunately, I don't think this is or will be possible. The ui.matplotlib element only sends the generated plot to the client and has no way to render interactive elements. In this respect JavaScript-based libraries like Plotly have a clear advantage over QT-based widgets.

I thought that this might be the case, but i figured i'd ask so that it was out there when the next person came looking. Thank you.
