Update on this candlestick Python chart demo with PyQtGraph

Update on this candlestick Python chart demo with PyQtGraph

From a Meetup attendee last nite:

Was that python charting you used pyqtgraph or pycharms? I seen you had both on the meeting last night?

Direct link to the candlestick data would be appreciated.
I am abandoning this for now due to this mysterious exception. I may have a easier alternative.

Running Qt Designer with Python pyqtgraph

Running Qt Designer with Python pyqtgraph

Here are more notes on how to get this powerful combo running with a GUI builder including a powerful plot. This can be done

 

Running Qt Designer
When you pyqt, it is installed as well but you will find it in a strange spot

find /Users -name Designer*

found in /Users/quantlabsnet/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin/Designer.app

Convert .ui file to .py with
pyuic4 -x testDesigner.ui -o testDesigner.py

To use pyqtgraph ‘element’, follow

and another approach
https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/commit/4e9e75817fb0d2b5f6880278857621af30d7d0f1

The VideoSpeedTest and ScatterPlotSpeedTest examples in pyqtgraph both use .ui files that were compiled using the tools/rebuildUi.py script (which just calls pyuic4

Note that there is also exampleLoaderTemplate.ui and exampleLoaderTemplate_pyside.py
but pyside package is needed

pip install -U PySide

You may need cmake: brew install cmake
