Create a plot in an App

In this example we show how to use the dedicated Simcenter Amesim widget for plot that is available in the User Interface editor of the App Designer.

A piece of code is copied from the Plot API demo in order to demonstrate how to use it in the main project of an app. It is recommended to keep the app from the Plot API demo open.

Procedure

1. Create a new App and select Dialog as type of window.

2. From the User Interface editor, select the Amesim Display Widgets Plot and drag-and-drop it onto your MainForm.

5. In the Plot API demo app select Separated Axes as plot type.

6. Copy all the code but the module import lines.

7. Then from the Python editor you can paste it in the section Insert extra code here/End of extra code of the mainform.py file at the line 70.

When you launch the app the following window appears:

Note

The values are defined by mathematical functions in the code. You can also retrieve variables from the model to have them in the plot instead.
