Hello I am trying to embed a matplotlib graph to an especific area of a canvas, and I am having some problems trying to make the toolbar work properly. Here is what I have so far:
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
matplotlib.use("TkAgg")
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2Tk
import tkinter as tk
def on_closing():
root.quit()
root.destroy()
root = tk.Tk()
root.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", on_closing)
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, width = 500, height=400, highlightthickness=0)
canvas.pack()
# create Frame
x0, y0, x1, y1 = (10, 10, 490, 390)
frame = tk.Frame(canvas, width=x1-x0, height=y1-y0)
window = canvas.create_window(x0, y0, anchor="nw",
window=frame, width=x1-x0, height=y1-y0)
# Create matplotlib graph
figure, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8],[5,6,1,3,8,9,3,5])
ax.set(xlabel='something', ylabel='something',
title='something')
ax.grid()
canvas_matplotlib = FigureCanvasTkAgg(figure, frame)
canvas_matplotlib.draw()
canvas_matplotlib.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tk.BOTTOM, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)
toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Tk(canvas_matplotlib, frame)
toolbar.update()
canvas_matplotlib._tkcanvas.pack(side=tk.TOP, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)
root.mainloop()
I dont understand why the toolbar wont appear.
EDIT:
What I want is for the plot and the toolbar to occupy exactly the area of the canvas defined.

I would like to change the color of the toolbar when making a matplotlib figure in tkinter. I have managed to find and change the color of two parts. There is one remaining.
My code comes directly from https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/user_interfaces/embedding_in_tk_sgskip.html?highlight=embedding%20tk with three additional lines to change colors.
import tkinter
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import (
FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2Tk)
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
import numpy as np
root = tkinter.Tk()
root.wm_title("Embedding in Tk")
fig = Figure(figsize=(5, 4), dpi=100)
t = np.arange(0, 3, .01)
fig.add_subplot().plot(t, 2 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * t))
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig, master=root) # A tk.DrawingArea.
canvas.draw()
color = "#d469a3"
toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Tk(canvas, root, pack_toolbar=False)
toolbar.config(background=color)
toolbar._message_label.config(background=color)
toolbar.update()
button = tkinter.Button(master=root, text="Quit", command=root.quit)
button.pack(side=tkinter.BOTTOM)
toolbar.pack(side=tkinter.BOTTOM)
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tkinter.TOP, fill=tkinter.BOTH, expand=1)
tkinter.mainloop()
This gives me the window:
What is the small, grey rectangle I have pointed out? How do I change its color?
It is an empty label. You can get a reference to it via winfo_children:
print (toolbar.winfo_children()[-2])
# .!navigationtoolbar2tk.!label
And to change its color:
toolbar.winfo_children()[-2].config(background=color)
I do not understand how correctly add matplotlib into panedwindow of tkinter.
I want to have on one side list box and matplotlib interactive plot, on the other side
I need to resize listbox and plot by dragging boundary between them
this is what is desirable
I tried this but I cannot add correctly matplot lib to paned window
from tkinter import *
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import (
FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2Tk)
# Implement the default Matplotlib key bindings.
from matplotlib.backend_bases import key_press_handler
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
root = Tk()
m = PanedWindow(root)
m.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
fig = Figure(figsize=(5, 4), dpi=100)
t = np.arange(0, 3, .01)
fig.add_subplot(111).plot(t, 2 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * t))
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig, master = root) # A tk.DrawingArea.
canvas.draw()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=RIGHT, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Tk(canvas, root)
toolbar.update()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=RIGHT, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
m.add(toolbar)
m.add(canvas)
lstbox2 = Listbox(selectmode=MULTIPLE, width=20, height=10)
m.add(lstbox2)
root.mainloop()
Put your canvas and toolbar in a Frame instead, and add that Frame to your paned window:
root = Tk()
...
canvas_frame = Frame(root)
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig, master = canvas_frame)
canvas.draw()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack()
toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Tk(canvas, canvas_frame)
toolbar.update()
toolbar.pack_configure(expand=True)
m.add(canvas_frame)
lstbox2 = Listbox(selectmode=MULTIPLE, width=20, height=10)
m.add(lstbox2)
root.mainloop()
I have a plot in a tkinter application and I am trying to change the background color of the plot using tkinter colors. I have found How to change plot background color? however, I got this error:
ValueError: Invalid RGBA argument: 'AntiqueWhite2'
...indicating I may only be able to use their subset of colors? Does anyone know how to use the tkinter colors here?
Here is what I am currently using (without color change):
self.fig = Figure(figsize=(5, 4), dpi=100)
self.canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(self.fig, master=self.master) # A tk.DrawingArea
self.canvas.draw()
self.ax = self.fig.add_subplot(111)

import numpy as np
root = tkinter.Tk()
root.geometry("770x633+745+171")
Frame1 = tkinter.Frame(root)
Frame1.place(relx=0.1, rely=0.1, relheight=0.3, relwidth=0.5)
root.wm_title("Embedding in Tk")
t = np.arange(0, 3, .01)
fig = Figure(figsize=(5, 3), dpi=80,facecolor = 'k')
axes1 =fig.add_subplot(111)
# axes1.axis('tight')
axes1.autoscale(enable=True, axis='y', tight=True)
axes1.plot(t, 2 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * t))
# axes1.set_axis_bgcolor('k')
axes1.set_facecolor('k')
axes1.grid(color = 'w')
for label in axes1.xaxis.get_ticklabels():
# label is a Text instance
label.set_color('w')
for label in axes1.yaxis.get_ticklabels():
# label is a Text instance
label.set_color('w')
# label.set_rotation(45)
# label.set_fontsize(1)
for line in axes1.yaxis.get_ticklines():
# line is a Line2D instance
line.set_color('w')
for line in axes1.xaxis.get_ticklines():
# line is a Line2D instance
line.set_color('w')
# line.set_markersize(25)
# line.set_markeredgewidth(3)
for line in axes1.xaxis.get_gridlines():
line.set_color('w')
for line in axes1.yaxis.get_gridlines():
line.set_color('w')
line.set_markeredgewidth(8)
axes1.yaxis.grid(color='w',linewidth=1)
# axes1.set_xmargin(0.9)
axes1.set_xlabel("Time(ns)")
axes1.xaxis.label.set_color('w')

canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig, master=Frame1) # A tk.DrawingArea.
canvas.get_tk_widget().configure(bg='black')
canvas.get_tk_widget().grid(row=1,column=0)
canvas.get_tk_widget().grid(row=1,column=0)
# canvas._tkcanvas.pack(side=tk.TOP, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1)
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tkinter.TOP, fill=tkinter.BOTH, expand=1)
canvas.draw()
toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Tk(canvas, root)
toolbar.update()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tkinter.TOP, fill=tkinter.BOTH, expand=1)
def on_key_press(event):
print("you pressed {}".format(event.key))
key_press_handler(event, canvas, toolbar)
canvas.mpl_connect("key_press_event", on_key_press)
fig.tight_layout()
def _quit():
root.quit() # stops mainloop
root.destroy() # this is necessary on Windows to prevent
# Fatal Python Error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate
button = tkinter.Button(master=root, text="Quit", command=_quit)
button.pack(side=tkinter.BOTTOM)
tkinter.mainloop()
# plt.tight_layout()
This is an example for change the background as black and change the label, grid, tick labels, ... color.
I'm trying to set up some program that includes a matplotlib graph and tkinter buttons and whatnot below it. However, the matplotlib graph occupies the entire window overlaying the tkinter buttons and stuff.
I'd tried using pack, but it doesn't let me put stuff side by side, so I'd like the tkinter widgets to be arranged with .grid or coordinates.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import StringVar
import tkinter
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import (
FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2Tk)
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def eggs():
print("eggs")
root = Tk()
root.geometry("600x600")
root.title("eggs")
fig = Figure(figsize=(10, 6), dpi=100)
x = [1,2,3,4]
y = [1,2,3,4]
AS = [10/2**0]
fig.add_subplot(111).plot(x,y)
#fig.add_subplot(111).plot(AS)
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig, master=root) # A tk.DrawingArea.
canvas.draw()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tkinter.TOP, fill=tkinter.BOTH, expand=1)
toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Tk(canvas, root)
toolbar.update()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tkinter.TOP, fill=tkinter.BOTH, expand=1)
testbutton = Button(root, text = "test button", command = eggs)
testbutton.place(x=100, y=550)
root.mainloop()
Wanting the top part of the window to be occupied by the graph and the buttons and other additional stuff below it.
You can use one Frame to keep graph and its toolbar vertically, and another Frame to keep buttons horizontally. And then you can use pack() to put one Frame at top top and other at the bottom.
The only problem makes figsize=(10, 6) which needs more space than "600x600"
BTW: you can use Button(toolbar, ...) to add button to NavigationToolbar2Tk - see "my tool".

I have embedded my matplotlib plot in tkinter according to http://matplotlib.org/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_tk2.html successfully, but I also want to save my plot. How do I do this? I tried figure.savefig (as below); I thought this would work from looking at http://matplotlib.org/api/figure_api.html:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
from numpy import arange, sin, pi
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2TkAgg
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
import sys
if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
import Tkinter as Tk
else:
import tkinter as Tk
def destroy(e): sys.exit()
root = Tk.Tk()
root.wm_title("Embedding in TK")
#root.bind("<Destroy>", destroy)
f = Figure(figsize=(5,4), dpi=100)
a = f.add_subplot(111)
t = arange(0.0,3.0,0.01)
s = sin(2*pi*t)
a.plot(t,s)
a.set_title('Tk embedding')
a.set_xlabel('X axis label')
a.set_ylabel('Y label')
f.savefig('hello.png')
# a tk.DrawingArea
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(f, master=root)
canvas.show()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1)
#toolbar = NavigationToolbar2TkAgg( canvas, root )
#toolbar.update()
canvas._tkcanvas.pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1)
button = Tk.Button(master=root, text='Quit', command=sys.exit)
button.pack(side=Tk.BOTTOM)
Tk.mainloop()
The Figure needs a FigureCanvas to draw on. In other words, don't call savefig until after the FigureCanvas has been established:
# a tk.DrawingArea
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(f, master=root)
canvas.show()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1)
f.savefig('hello.png')
