Overview
--------

Based on ``PythonQwt`` (a pure Python/PyQt reimplementation of the curve 
plotting Qwt C++ library, included in guiqwt base source code) and on the 
scientific modules NumPy and SciPy, ``guiqwt`` is a Python library providing 
efficient 2D data-plotting features (curve/image visualization and related 
tools) for interactive computing and signal/image processing application 
development. It is based on Qt graphical user interfaces library, and 
currently supports both ``PyQt4`` and ``PyQt5``.

Extension to ``PythonQwt``:

* set of tools for curve and image plotting
* GUI-based application development helpers

Dependencies

    Requirements

    - Python 2.6+ or Python 3
    - PyQt4 4.3+ or PyQt5 5.5+
    - qwt 0.1+ (pure Python reimplementation of Qwt6 C++ library)
    - guidata 1.7+
    - NumPy 1.3+ -- NumPy 1.6 or later is required for Windows binaries
    - SciPy 0.7+

Building/Installation
---------------------

    All platforms:
        
        The setup.py script supports the following extra options for 
        optimizing the image scaler engine with SSE2/SSE3 processors: 
        ``--sse2`` or ``--sse3``.

    On GNU/Linux and MacOS platforms:
        
        ``python setup.py build install``

    On Windows platforms with Microsoft Visual C/C++:
        
        ``python setup.py build install``
    
    On Windows platforms with MinGW:
        
        ``python setup.py build -c mingw32 install``
