Problem loading VTK window into PyQT Window

I'm tearing my hair out with a problem with VTK and PyQt4. I have an interface that has two tabs in it, one will house the VTK window and the other graphs.
The code for ui_Test which sets up the interface is as follows:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
try:
_fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8

self.verticalLayout.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("verticalLayout"))

self.tabWidget.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("tabWidget"))

self.tab.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("tab"))

self.menubar.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 800, 31))
self.menubar.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("menubar"))

self.tabWidget.setTabText(self.tabWidget.indexOf(self.tab_2), _translate("MainWindow", "Tab 2", None))
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
MainWindow = QtGui.QMainWindow()
ui = Ui_MainWindow()
ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
MainWindow.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
And the main window code is:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from vtk import vtkSphereSource,vtkRenderer,vtkColorTransferFunction,vtkPoints,vtkCellArray,vtkUnsignedCharArray,vtkPolygon,vtkPolyData,VTK_MAJOR_VERSION,vtkPolyDataMapper,vtkActor,vtkProperty,vtkScalarBarActor
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
from vtk.qt4.QVTKRenderWindowInteractor import QVTKRenderWindowInteractor
import ui_Test
class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow,ui_Test.Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self, parent)
self.setupUi(self)
self.vtkWidget = QVTKRenderWindowInteractor(self)
self.vtkLayout.addWidget(self.vtkWidget)
self.ren = vtkRenderer()
self.vtkWidget.GetRenderWindow().AddRenderer(self.ren)
self.iren = self.vtkWidget.GetRenderWindow().GetInteractor()
# Create source
source = vtkSphereSource()
source.SetCenter(0, 0, 0)
source.SetRadius(5.0)
# Create a mapper
mapper = vtkPolyDataMapper()
mapper.SetInputConnection(source.GetOutputPort())
# Create an actor
actor = vtkActor()
actor.SetMapper(mapper)
self.ren.AddActor(actor)
self.ren.ResetCamera()
self.iren.Initialize()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
The problem is that when this runs it throughs errors in the VTK error log window and nothing shows on the tab. The error looks something like this:
ERROR: In C:\VPP\standalone-build\VTK-source\Rendering\OpenGL2\vtkShaderProgram.cxx, line 431
vtkShaderProgram (0000016142650060):
ERROR: In C:\VPP\standalone-build\VTK-source\Rendering\OpenGL2\vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 769

vtkShaderProgram (0000016142650060): 1: #version 120
I won't post the full thing as it is really long! I can make the PyQT VTK examples run so the VTK/PyQT version isn't the problem - I assume it is to do with how I'm adding it to the tab. Any help will be massively appreciated!

Sorry, I'm using PyQt5, everything works without problems.

issue with ScrollArea in Pyqt using QtDesigner

I designed a window with QtDesigner and added a scrollarea and a layout in it, but the scroll area doesn't scroll, it shows the scroll bar but It cant be scrolled at all.

Sir, your code is a bit messed.
Here is a small example, see if it works. There is no secret. :D
it's in PyQt5. You just gotta change your imports to PyQt4.

self.v_scroll_area = QScrollArea(self)
self.v_scroll_area.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn)
self.v_scroll_area.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
self.v_scroll_area.setWidget(self.w_container)
# Scroll Area Layer add
self.v_layout_preview = QVBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(self.v_layout_preview)
self.v_layout_preview.addWidget(self.v_scroll_area)
def run():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
GUI = WSlideBar()
GUI.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

OBS: You will just have to change for QPushButtons, QLabels,... instead of small QWidgets and whatever you need.

AttributeError: 'dataAcquisition' object has no attribute 'gpioButton'

I'm trying to connect a push-button on my main window to open a new widget when I click it. But each time I run the program I get this error:

You created a separate namespace for the ui, so you would need to access the button like this:
self.ui.gpioButton.clicked.connect(self.gpioButton_clicked)
However, if you'd prefer to have all the widgets as attributes of the window, do this:
class gpioDialog(QtGui.QDialog, Ui_GPIODialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(gpioDialog, self).__init__(parent)
flags = QtCore.Qt.Drawer | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint
self.setWindowFlags(flags)
self.setupUi(self)
self.gpioOKButton.clicked.connect(self.acceptOKButtonClicked)
class dataAcquisition(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(dataAcquisition, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
self.gpioButton.clicked.connect(self.gpioButton_clicked)
self.popGPIO = gpioDialog()

I need your help with my app. I undecorated python gui and now i need to create clicable label.

self.statusbar = QtGui.QStatusBar(MainWindow)
self.statusbar.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("statusbar"))
MainWindow.setStatusBar(self.statusbar)
self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)
def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow", None))
self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "open", None))
self.label.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "close", None))
self.label_2.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "view", None))
Now I need to add action to label and label_2. How to make the label to perform closeapp()?

Add a function to Ui_MainWindow class (untitled.py)
def click(self,eve):
print "clicked"
Then add attribute to label object
self.label.mousePressEvent = self.click
another option is just modify run.py file like following
class ExampleApp(QtGui.QMainWindow, untitled.Ui_MainWindow):
def click(self,eve):
print "clicked"
def __init__(self):
super(self.__class__, self).__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
self.label.mousePressEvent = self.click
self.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)

QLabel inherits QWidget. QWidget` has an event handler mousePressEvent
so as E-ebola virus mentioned
add
self.label.mousePressEvent = self.click
and define
def click(self,event):
#do something
or
subclass QLabel
class customLabel(QLabel):
def __init__(self):
QLabel.__init__(self)
def self.mousePressEvent(self,event):
self.emit(SIGNAL("closeapp"))
emit a SIGNAL when label is pressed, i would implement it as
self.label = customLabel()
self.connect(self.label,SIGNAL('closeapp'),self.close)

python qt4 isn't working

I have watched this video and then i created succesfully hello.py. But i run hello.py , doesn't show a form. I need to help. I haven't taken any error ever.
After I have created interface in qt designer,i created hello.py script. "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\pyuic4.bat" hello.ui -o hello.py
The codes is below :
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
try:
_fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8
except AttributeError:
def _fromUtf8(s):
return s
try:
_encoding = QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8
def _translate(context, text, disambig):
return QtGui.QApplication.translate(context, text, disambig, _encoding)
except AttributeError:
def _translate(context, text, disambig):
return QtGui.QApplication.translate(context, text, disambig)
class Ui_Form(object):
def setupUi(self, Form):
Form.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("Form"))
Form.resize(509, 312)
self.gridLayout = QtGui.QGridLayout(Form)
self.gridLayout.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("gridLayout"))
self.verticalLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
self.verticalLayout.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("verticalLayout"))
self.label = QtGui.QLabel(Form)
self.label.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("label"))
self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.label)
self.horizontalLayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
self.horizontalLayout.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("horizontalLayout"))
self.lineEdit = QtGui.QLineEdit(Form)
self.lineEdit.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("lineEdit"))
self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.lineEdit)
self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(Form)
self.pushButton.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton"))
self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton)
self.verticalLayout.addLayout(self.horizontalLayout)
self.gridLayout.addLayout(self.verticalLayout, 0, 0, 1, 1)
self.retranslateUi(Form)
QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), self.label.clear)
QtCore.QObject.connect(self.lineEdit, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("textChanged(QString)")), self.label.setText)
QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), self.lineEdit.clear)
QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(Form)
def retranslateUi(self, Form):
Form.setWindowTitle(_translate("Form", "Form", None))
self.label.setText(_translate("Form", "Hello World", None))
self.pushButton.setText(_translate("Form", "PushButton", None))

You need to instantiate your object and set it up. Adding this at the bottom of your current code will show the form.
import sys
class MyForm(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
self.ui = Ui_Form()
self.ui.setupUi(self)
def execute_event(self):
pass
def execute_all_event(self):
pass
def reload_event(self):
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
myapp = MyForm()
myapp.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
