问题
I am designing an app that must plot a serial from a sensor through Arduino and Python. I am using matplotlib to animate my graph, and it works fine with the code that can be seen in a question I posted yesterday: Arduino Live Serial Plotting with a MatplotlibAnimation gets slow. Now, since I want to make a nice looking GUI, I want to embed my animation in PyQt5. For that I've taken as a reference this link https://pythonspot.com/en/pyqt5-matplotlib/ together with that one Getting blitting to work in funcAnimation embedded in PyQT4 GUI. My resulting code looks as follows:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QMenu, QVBoxLayout, QSizePolicy, QMessageBox, QWidget, \
QPushButton
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt5agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
import serial
import time
class App(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.left = 10
self.top = 10
self.title = 'PyQt5 matplotlib example - pythonspot.com'
self.width = 640
self.height = 400
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
m = PlotCanvas(self, width=5, height=4)
m.move(0, 0)
button = QPushButton('PyQt5 button', self)
button.setToolTip('This is an example button')
button.move(500, 0)
button.resize(140, 100)
self.show()
class PlotCanvas(FigureCanvas):
def __init__(self, parent=None, width=5, height=4, dpi=100):
global fig
fig = Figure(figsize=(width, height), dpi=dpi)
FigureCanvas.__init__(self, fig)
self.setParent(parent)
#self.axes = fig.add_subplot(111)#, IYV: can be removed
FigureCanvas.setSizePolicy(self,
QSizePolicy.Expanding,
QSizePolicy.Expanding)
FigureCanvas.updateGeometry(self)
self.plot()
self.animate()
def plot(self):
global xar, yar, optimal_frequency, ser, ax1
ser = serial.Serial("com3", 2400)
ser.readline()
optimal_frequency = 100
ax1 = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
xar = []
yar = []
print(time.ctime())
def animate(self):
self.anim = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, self.animate_loop(), interval=optimal_frequency)
self.draw()
def animate_loop(self):
global xar, yar
ser.readline()
for i in range(optimal_frequency):
a = str(ser.readline(), 'utf-8')
try:
b = float(a)
except ValueError:
ser.readline()
xar.append(str(time.time()))
print(time.ctime())
yar.append(int(b))
ax1.clear()
ax1.plot(xar, yar)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = App()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
But I get the error:

Any help on how can I get this running? Cheers
回答1:
As you can also see in the question you link to, FuncAnimation requires a method as its second argument. However in your call you provide None instead (since self.animate_loop() evaluates to None). Change this to
self.anim = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, self.animate_loop, interval=optimal_frequency)
Second, as can also be seen from the linked question, self.animate_loop needs to take an argument, so probably you would need to change this to
def animate_loop(self,i):
Apart from that there are some minor problems in your code, e.g. if b = float(a) fails, b is undefined and yar.append(int(b)) will raise an error.
Also using global inside classes seems very strange; it's not a problem, but makes the code hard to read. Better use class variables.

Thanks a lot @ImportanceOfBeingErnest, that solved the problem. I also take your critic into consideration; I really need to gain a better insight into object-oriented programming.
The GUI though is slow-resposive: the window cannot easily be moved around or resized, and the button is hard to press. For this reason, I recommend discarding matplotlib for serial plotting, and use PyQtGraoh instead. The following code does the same, just with PyQtGraph/PyQt4 instead of Matplotlib/PyQt5. The code looks as:
import numpy as np
from pyqtgraph.Qt import QtGui, QtCore
import pyqtgraph as pg
import serial
import random
import time
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
p = pg.plot(title='random numbers generator')
curve = p.plot()
data = [0]
port = "com3"
baudrate = 600
ser = serial.Serial(port, baudrate)
ser.readline()
print(time.ctime())
def update():
global curve, data
a = str(ser.readline(), 'utf-8')
try:
data.append(float(a))
except ValueError:
ser.readline()
curve.setData(data) #xdata is not necessary
app.processEvents()
timer = QtCore.QTimer()
timer.timeout.connect(update)
timer.start(0)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
if (sys.flags.interactive != 1) or not hasattr(QtCore, 'PYQT_VERSION'):
QtGui.QApplication.instance().exec_()
I really wanted to use PyQt5 in order to being able to deply with PyQtDeploy, but I'll have to go all the way with PyInstaller, since this way of including PyQtGraph in PyQt5 seems pretty complicated for me : https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/issues/33
