Is it possible to gain access to Qt Charts (Qt Charts Overview | Qt Charts 5.15.8) in a custom Desktop App? I know the frameworks (qtwidgets and shotgunutils) have a bunch of widgets, but that doesn’t include charts. Obviously the charts are available on the web (Insights), but how can I access that functionality from a custom app?
I don’t know too much about it, but perhaps you could add a new tk-framework-*
or extend the existing one? The framework will guarantee that QChart classes are available for import, and perhaps do some wrapping.
Following up: QtCharts is part of PySide2. SG Desktop comes with its own version of PySide2, which is missing QtCharts (and a bunch of other modules). I can’t figure out how to add Charts functionality to Desktop’s version of PySide2, and trying to import a separate version of PySide2 messes with SG’s version of it.
Any insight into getting access to missing PySide2 modules like QtCharts in a desktop app environment?
Hi @stavernia ,
Have you tried to define your own Python Interpreter in the *.cfg file for your platform?
The names are listed here:
and will live in your $CONFIG/core folder if you want to override them.
I just skimmed through the documentation to see if there was better reference for this but could not find it; I will ask others if it exists.
Please try this out and let us know if it works for QtCharts?
Thanks!
You could also try to install PySide2 from pip using ShotGrid’s interpreter
$path_to_python/python.exe -m pip install PySide2
