Hi,
I am using Blender as a GUI for my own mechanical design software, which is written in python. I use blender to change the design and a python module to generate calculation results. I would like to plot the results using matplotlib directly from inside blender, but somehow the matplolib backend that I use (Qt4Agg) refuses to show the plot windows when the plot function is being called from Blender (it works when I run the routine outside of Blender).
I am currently stuck with the Qt4Agg backend, since this is the only one supported in the Python3 version of matplotlib. I am using Blender 2.63 on Ubuntu 12.04. I use a python3 version of matplotlib from here: https://launchpad.net/~takluyver.
I am wondering if any of you ever tried to do something similar.
Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated.
