The problem is that plot and GUI methods should be called from the main thread. To safely update the plot from another thread, one need to execute the update asynchronously in the main thread. In this example, this is achieved with :func:`~silx.gui.utils.concurrent.submitToQtMainThread`. In this example a thread calls submitToQtMainThread to update the image of a plot.
