+Package structure
+=================
+
+The :mod:`silx.gui.plot` package provides plot widgets.
+This package is structured as follows.
+
+.. currentmodule:: silx.gui.plot
+
+:mod:`.PlotWidget` and :mod:`.PlotWindow` provides the user API.
+:class:`PlotWidget` is a Qt widget (actually a :class:`QMainWindow`) displaying a 1D, 2D plot area.
+It provides different interaction modes.
+:class:`PlotWindow` is a Qt widget (actually a :class:`QMainWindow`) which adds a set of toolbar buttons and associated functionalities to :class:`PlotWidget`.
+The toolbar QActions are implemented in :mod:`.PlotActions`.
+
+:mod:`.Plot`, :mod:`.PlotEvents` and :mod:`.PlotInteraction` implement the plotting API regardless of the rendering backend and regardless of its integration in Qt.
+The plotting API in defined in :mod:`.Plot`.
+The different interaction modes (zoom, drawing, pan) are implemented in :mod:`.PlotInteraction`.
+Each interaction mode is implemented with a state machine structure (implemented in :mod:`.Interaction`).
+The different events emitted by :class:`Plot` and by the interaction modes are created with helper functions defined in :mod:`.PlotEvents`.
+
+The :class:`PlotWindow` uses additional widgets:
+
+- :mod:`.ColormapDialog` to change colormap settings.
+- :mod:`.CurvesROIWidget` to create regions of interest for curves
+- :mod:`.LegendSelector` to display a list of curves legends which provides some control on the curves (e.g., select, delete).
+- :mod:`.MaskToolsWidget` to provide tools to draw a mask on an image.
+- :mod:`.ScatterMaskToolsWidget` to provide tools to draw a mask on a scatter.
+- The :mod:`.PlotTools` module provides a set of additional widgets:
+
+ - :class:`.PlotTools.PositionInfo`
+ - :class:`.PlotTools.LimitsToolBar`
+
+- The :mod:`.Profile` module provides toolbar for extracting profiles from image and image stack:
+
+ - :class:`.Profile.ProfileToolBar`
+ - :class:`.Profile.Profile3DToolBar`
+
+- :mod:`silx.gui.console` to provide an IPython console which can control the plot area content.
+
+The widgets also use the following miscellaneous modules:
+
+- :mod:`.Colors` to convert colors from name to RGB(A)
+- :mod:`.MPLColormap` to embed recent matplotlib colormaps: 'magma', 'inferno', 'plasma' and 'viridis'.
+- :mod:`._utils`: utility functions
+
+The :mod:`backends` package provide the implementation of the rendering used by the :class:`Plot`.
+It contains:
+:mod:`.backends.BackendBase` defines the API any plot backend should provide in :class:`BackendBase`.
+:mod:`.backends.BackendMatplotlib` implements a `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.org/>`_ backend.
+It uses :mod:`.backends.ModestImage` to provide a faster matplotlib AxesImage class using nearest values.
+The :mod:`.backends.BackendMatplotlib` the provides two classes:
+
+.. currentmodule:: silx.gui.plot.backends.BackendMatplotlib
+
+- :class:`BackendMatplotlib` that provides a matplotlib backend without a specific canvas.
+- :class:`BackendMatplotlibQt` which inherits from :class:`BackendMatplotlib` and adds a Qt canvas, and Qt specific functionalities.
+
+The OpenGL-based backend is implemented in the :mod:`.backends.BackendOpenGL` module and
+the :mod:`.backends.glutils` package which provides the different primitives used for rendering and interaction.
+It is based on :mod:`silx.gui._glutils`, `PyOpenGL <http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/>`_ and OpenGL >= 2.1.

+Getting started with plot widgets
+=================================
+
+This introduction to :mod:`silx.gui.plot` covers the following topics:
+
+- `Use silx.gui.plot from the console`_
+- `Use silx.gui.plot from a script`_
+- `Plot curves in a widget`_
+- `Plot images in a widget`_
+- `Control plot axes`_
+
+For a complete description of the API, see :mod:`silx.gui.plot`.
+
+Use :mod:`silx.gui.plot` from the console
+-----------------------------------------
+
+From IPython
+++++++++++++
+
+To run :mod:`silx.gui.plot` widgets from `IPython <http://ipython.org/>`_, IPython must be set to use Qt (and in case of using PyQt4 and Python 2.7, PyQt must be set ti use API version 2, see Explanation_ below).
+
+As *silx* is performing some configuration of the Qt binding and `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.org/>`_, the safest way to use *silx* from IPython is to import :mod:`silx.gui.plot` first and then run either `%gui <http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/magics.html#magic-gui>`_ qt or `%pylab <http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/magics.html#magic-pylab>`_ qt::
+
+ In [1]: from silx.gui.plot import *
+ In [2]: %pylab qt
+
+Alternatively, when using Python 2.7 and PyQt4, you can start IPython with the ``QT_API`` environment variable set to ``pyqt``.
+
+On Linux and MacOS X, run::
+
+ QT_API=pyqt ipython
+
+On Windows, run from the command line::
+
+ set QT_API=pyqt&&ipython
+
+
+Explanation
+...........
+
+PyQt4 used from Python 2.x provides 2 incompatible versions of QString and QVariant:
+
+- version 1, the legacy which is the default, and
+- version 2, a more pythonic one, which is the only one supported by *silx*.
+
+All other configurations (i.e., PyQt4 on Python 3.x, PySide, PyQt5, IPython QtConsole widget) uses version 2 only or as the default.
+
+For more information, see `IPython, PyQt and PySide <http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/reference.html#pyqt-and-pyside>`_.
+
+
+From Python
++++++++++++
+
+The :mod:`silx.sx` package is a convenient module to use silx from the console.
+It sets-up Qt and provides functions for the main features of silx.
+
+>>> from silx import sx
+
+Alternatively, you can create a QApplication before using silx widgets:
+
+>>> from silx.gui import qt # Import Qt binding and do some set-up
+>>> qapp = qt.QApplication([])
+
+>>> from silx.gui.plot import * # Import plot widgets and set-up matplotlib
+
+.. currentmodule:: silx.sx
+
+Plot functions
+++++++++++++++
+
+The :mod:`silx.sx` package provides 2 functions to plot curves and images from the (I)Python console in a widget with a set of tools:
+
+- :func:`plot`, and
+- :func:`imshow`.
+
+For more features, use widgets directly (see `Plot curves in a widget`_ and `Plot images in a widget`_).
+
+
+Curve: :func:`plot`
+...................
+
+The following examples must run with a Qt QApplication initialized (see `Use silx.gui.plot from the console`_).
+
+First import :mod:`sx` function:
+
+>>> from silx import sx
+>>> import numpy
+
+Plot a single curve given some values:
+
+>>> values = numpy.random.random(100)
+>>> plot_1curve = sx.plot(values, title='Random data')
+
+Plot a single curve given the x and y values:
+
+>>> angles = numpy.linspace(0, numpy.pi, 100)
+>>> sin_a = numpy.sin(angles)
+>>> plot_sinus = sx.plot(angles, sin_a,
+... xlabel='angle (radian)', ylabel='sin(a)')
+
+Plot many curves by giving a 2D array, provided xn, yn arrays:
+
+>>> plot_curves = sx.plot(x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2, ...)
+
+Plot curve with style giving a style string:
+
+>>> plot_styled = sx.plot(x0, y0, 'ro-', x1, y1, 'b.')
+
+See :func:`plot` for details.
+
+
+Image: :func:`imshow`
+.....................
+
+This example plot a single image.
+
+First, import :mod:`silx.sx`:
+
+>>> from silx import sx
+>>> import numpy
+
+>>> data = numpy.random.random(1024 * 1024).reshape(1024, 1024)
+>>> plt = sx.imshow(data, title='Random data')
+
+See :func:`imshow` for more details.
+
+
+Use :mod:`silx.gui.plot` from a script
+--------------------------------------
+
+A Qt GUI script must have a QApplication initialized before creating widgets:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from silx.gui import qt
+
+ [...]
+
+ qapp = qt.QApplication([])
+
+ [...] # Widgets initialisation
+
+ if __name__ == '__main__':
+ [...]
+ qapp.exec_()
+
+Unless a Qt binding has already been loaded, :mod:`silx.gui.qt` uses the first Qt binding it founds by probing in the following order: PyQt5, PyQt4 and finally PySide.
+If you prefer to choose the Qt binding yourself, import it before importing
+a module from :mod:`silx.gui`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import PySide # Importing PySide will force silx to use it
+ from silx.gui import qt
+
+
+.. warning::
+ :mod:`silx.gui.plot` widgets are not thread-safe.
+ All calls to :mod:`silx.gui.plot` widgets must be made from the main thread.
+
+Plot curves in a widget
+-----------------------
+
+The :class:`Plot1D` widget provides a plotting area and a toolbar with tools useful for curves such as setting logarithmic scale or defining region of interest.
+
+First, create a :class:`Plot1D` widget:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from silx.gui.plot import Plot1D
+
+ plot = Plot1D() # Create the plot widget
+ plot.show() # Make the plot widget visible
+
+
+One curve
++++++++++
+
+To display a single curve, use the :meth:`.PlotWidget.addCurve` method:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.addCurve(x=(1, 2, 3), y=(3, 2, 1)) # Add a curve with default style
+
+When you need to update this curve, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.addCurve` again with the new values to display:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.addCurve(x=(1, 2, 3), y=(1, 2, 3)) # Replace the existing curve
+
+To clear the plotting area, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.clear`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.clear()
+
+
+Multiple curves
++++++++++++++++
+
+In order to display multiple curves at the same time, you need to provide a different ``legend`` string for each of them:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import numpy
+
+ x = numpy.linspace(-numpy.pi, numpy.pi, 1000)
+ plot.addCurve(x, numpy.sin(x), legend='sinus')
+ plot.addCurve(x, numpy.cos(x), legend='cosinus')
+ plot.addCurve(x, numpy.random.random(len(x)), legend='random')
+
+
+To update a curve, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.addCurve` with the ``legend`` of the curve you want to udpdate.
+By default, the new curve will keep the same color (and style) as the curve it is updating:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.addCurve(x, numpy.random.random(len(x)) - 1., legend='random')
+
+To remove a curve from the plot, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.remove` with the ``legend`` of the curve you want to remove from the plot:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.remove('random')
+
+To clear the plotting area, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.clear`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.clear()
+
+Curve style
++++++++++++
+
+By default, different curves will automatically use different styles to render, and keep the same style when updated.
+
+It is possible to specify the ``color`` of the curve, its ``linewidth`` and ``linestyle`` as well as the ``symbol`` to use as markers for data points (See :meth:`.PlotWidget.addCurve` for more details):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import numpy
+
+ x = numpy.linspace(-numpy.pi, numpy.pi, 100)
+
+ # Curve with a thick dashed line
+ plot.addCurve(x, numpy.sin(x), legend='sinus',
+ linewidth=3, linestyle='--')
+
+ # Curve with pink markers only
+ plot.addCurve(x, numpy.cos(x), legend='cosinus',
+ color='pink', linestyle=' ', symbol='o')
+
+ # Curve with green line with square markers
+ plot.addCurve(x, numpy.random.random(len(x)), legend='random',
+ color='green', linestyle='-', symbol='s')
+
+
+
+Histogram
++++++++++
+
+Data can be displayed as an histogram. This must be specified when calling the the addCurve function. (using ``histogram``, See :meth:`.PlotWidget.addCurve` for more details ).
+
+Histogram steps can be centered on x values or set at the left or the right of the given x values.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import numpy
+ x = numpy.arange(0, 20, 1)
+ plot.addCurve(x, x+1, histogram='center', fill=True, color='green')
+
+.. note:: You can also give x as edges. For this you must have len(x) = len(y) + 1
+
+Plot images in a widget
+-----------------------
+
+The :class:`Plot2D` widget provides a plotting area and a toolbar with tools useful for images, such as keeping aspect ratio, changing the colormap or defining a mask.
+
+First, create a :class:`Plot2D` widget:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from silx.gui.plot import Plot2D
+
+ plot = Plot2D() # Create the plot widget
+ plot.show() # Make the plot widget visible
+
+
+One image
++++++++++
+
+To display a single image, use the :meth:`.PlotWidget.addImage` method:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import numpy
+
+ data = numpy.random.random(512 * 512).reshape(512, -1) # Create 2D image
+ plot.addImage(data) # Plot the 2D data set with default colormap
+
+
+To update this image, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.addImage` again with the new image to display:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ # Create a RGB image
+ rgb_image = (numpy.random.random(512*512*3) * 255).astype(numpy.uint8)
+ rgb_image.shape = 512, 512, 3
+
+ plot.addImage(rgb_image) # Plot the RGB image instead of the previous data
+
+
+To clear the plotting area, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.clear`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.clear()
+
+
+Origin and scale
+++++++++++++++++
+
+:meth:`.PlotWidget.addImage` supports both 2D arrays of data displayed with a colormap and RGB(A) images as 3D arrays of shape (height, width, color channels).
+
+When displaying an image, it is possible to specify the ``origin`` and the ``scale`` of the image array in the plot area coordinates:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ data = numpy.random.random(512 * 512).reshape(512, -1)
+ plot.addImage(data, origin=(100, 100), scale=(0.1, 0.1))
+
+When updating an image, if ``origin`` and ``scale`` are not provided, the previous values will be used:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ data = numpy.random.random(512 * 512).reshape(512, -1)
+ plot.addImage(data) # Keep previous origin and scale
+
+
+Colormap
+++++++++
+
+A ``colormap`` is described with a :class:`dict` as follows (See :mod:`silx.gui.plot.Plot` for full documentation of the colormap):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ colormap = {
+ 'name': 'gray', # Name of the colormap
+ 'normalization': 'linear', # Either 'linear' or 'log'
+ 'autoscale': True, # True to autoscale colormap to data range, False to use [vmin, vmax]
+ 'vmin': 0.0, # If not autoscale, data value to bind to min of colormap
+ 'vmax': 1.0 # If not autoscale, data value to bind to max of colormap
+ }
+
+
+At least the following colormap names are guaranteed to be available, but any colormap name from `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.org/>`_ (see `Choosing Colormaps <http://matplotlib.org/users/colormaps.html>`_) should work:
+
+- gray
+- reversed gray
+- temperature
+- red
+- green
+- blue
+- viridis
+- magma
+- inferno
+- plasma
+
+It is possible to change the default colormap of :meth:`.PlotWidget.addImage` for the plot widget with :meth:`.PlotWidget.setDefaultColormap` (and to get it with :meth:`.PlotWidget.getDefaultColormap`):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ colormap = {'name': 'viridis', 'normalization': 'linear',
+ 'autoscale': True, 'vmin': 0.0, 'vmax': 1.0}
+ plot.setDefaultColormap(colormap)
+
+ data = numpy.arange(512 * 512.).reshape(512, -1)
+ plot.addImage(data) # Rendered with the default colormap set before
+
+It is also possible to provide a ``colormap`` to :meth:`.PlotWidget.addImage` to override this default for an image:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ colormap = {'name': 'magma', 'normalization': 'log',
+ 'autoscale': False, 'vmin': 1.2, 'vmax': 1.8}
+ data = numpy.random.random(512 * 512).reshape(512, -1) + 1.
+ plot.addImage(data, colormap=colormap)
+
+As for `Origin and scale`_, when updating an image, if ``colormap`` is not provided, the previous colormap will be used:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ data = numpy.random.random(512 * 512).reshape(512, -1) + 1.
+ plot.addImage(data) # Keep previous colormap
+
+The colormap can be changed by the user from the widget's toolbar.
+
+
+Multiple images
++++++++++++++++
+
+In order to display multiple images at the same time, you need to provide a different ``legend`` string for each of them and to set the ``replace`` argument to ``False``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ data = numpy.random.random(512 * 512).reshape(512, -1)
+ plot.addImage(data, legend='random', replace=False)
+
+ data = numpy.arange(512 * 512.).reshape(512, -1)
+ plot.addImage(data, legend='arange', replace=False, origin=(512, 512))
+
+
+To update an image, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.addImage` with the ``legend`` of the curve you want to udpdate.
+By default, the new image will keep the same colormap, origin and scale as the image it is updating:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ data = (512 * 512. - numpy.arange(512 * 512.)).reshape(512, -1)
+ plot.addImage(data, legend='arange', replace=False) # Beware of replace=False
+
+
+To remove an image from the plot, call :meth:`.PlotWidget.remove` with the ``legend`` of the image you want to remove:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.remove('random')
+
+
+Control plot axes
+-----------------
+
+The following examples illustrate the API to control the plot axes.
+
+Labels and title
+++++++++++++++++
+
+Use :meth:`.PlotWidget.setGraphTitle` to set the plot main title.
+Use :meth:`.PlotWidget.setGraphXLabel` and :meth:`.PlotWidget.setGraphYLabel` to set the axes text labels:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.setGraphTitle('My plot')
+ plot.setGraphXLabel('X')
+ plot.setGraphYLabel('Y')
+
+
+Axes limits
++++++++++++
+
+Different methods allows to get and set the data limits displayed on each axis.
+
+The following code moves the visible plot area to the right:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ xmin, xmax = plot.getGraphXLimits()
+ offset = 0.1 * (xmax - xmin)
+ plot.setGraphXLimits(xmin + offset, xmax + offset)
+
+:meth:`.PlotWidget.resetZoom` set the plot limits to the bounds of the data:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.resetZoom()
+
+See :meth:`.PlotWidget.resetZoom`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.setLimits`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.getGraphXLimits`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.setGraphXLimits`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.getGraphYLimits`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.setGraphYLimits` for details.
+
+
+Axes
+++++
+
+Different methods allow plot axes modifications:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.setYAxisInverted(True) # Makes the Y axis pointing downward
+ plot.setKeepDataAspectRatio(True) # To keep aspect ratio between X and Y axes
+
+See :meth:`.PlotWidget.setYAxisInverted`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.setKeepDataAspectRatio` for details.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ plot.setGraphGrid(which='both') # To show a grid for both minor and major axes ticks
+
+ # Use logarithmic axes
+ plot.setXAxisLogarithmic(True)
+ plot.setYAxisLogarithmic(True)
+
+See :meth:`.PlotWidget.setGraphGrid`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.setXAxisLogarithmic`, :meth:`.PlotWidget.setYAxisLogarithmic` for details.

+
+Adding custom plot actions
+==========================
+
+A :class:`PlotWindow` defines a number of standard plot actions that can be executed
+by clicking on toolbar icons.
+
+Developers can design additional plot actions to be added as toolbar icons or as menu entries,
+to be added to a :class:`PlotWindow` or to design their own plot window based on
+:class:`PlotWidget`.
+
+This documentation pages provides examples on how to do this.
+
+Simple example: Shift a curve
+-----------------------------
+
+The following script is a simplistic example to show the basic required steps:
+
+ - create a new class inheriting from :class:`silx.gui.plot.PlotActions.PlotAction`
+ - define basic parameters such as the icon, the tooltip...
+ - write a method that will be triggered by the action
+ - initialize the new plot action by passing a reference to a plot window
+ - add the action to a toolbar or a menu
+
+The method implemented in this action interacts with the plot in a basic way. It gets the active curve,
+then it creates a new data array based on the curve data, and finally it replaces the original curve
+with a new one using the modified data array.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../../../examples/shiftPlotAction.py
+ :lines: 36-
+
+.. |imgShiftAction0| image:: img/shiftAction0.png
+ :height: 300px

+.. |imgShiftAction3| image:: img/shiftAction3.png
+ :height: 300px
+ :align: middle
+
+.. list-table::
+ :widths: 1 2
+
+ * - |imgShiftAction0|
+ - Initial state
+ * - |imgShiftAction3|
+ - After triggering the action 3 times, the selected triangle shaped curve
+ is shifted up by 3 units
+
+Advanced example: Display amplitude spectrum
+--------------------------------------------
+
+This more advanced example shows additional ways of interacting with the plot, by changing
+labels, storing additional data array along with the curve data.
+
+This action is *checkable*, meaning that is has two states. When clicking the toolbar icon
+or the menu item, it remains in a *pushed* state until it is clicked again.
+
+In one state (*un-checked*), the original data is displayed. In the other state, the amplitude
+spectrum of the original signal is displayed. When the state is changed, the triggered action
+computes either the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), or the reverse FFT.
+
+This example also illustrates how to store additional data, along with a curve.
+The FFT computation returns complex values, but we want to display real data, so we compute
+the amplitude spectrum. However, the inverse FFT requires the complete FFT data as input.
+We are therefore required to store the complex array of FFT data as curve metadata,
+in order to be able to reverse the process when the action is unchecked.

+ (wavelength of 2 seconds).
+ * - |imgFftAction1|
+ - Amplitude spectra (zoom applied), with peaks visible at
+ the expected frequencies of 3, 7, 20 and 42 Hz for the sine and cosine
+ signals. In green, we see the complete series of peaks related to the square wave,
+ with a fundamental frequency at 0.5 Hz and harmonic frequencies at every
+ odd multiple of the fundamental.
