most MantidPlot commands related to plotting/annotating curves does not work

[Alex Buts]

the page http://www.mantidproject.org/MantidPlot:_1D_Plots_in_Python#The_plot_legend

describes the way to plot/annotate curves. Most examples provided on this page do not work.

there is the script illustrating this:

t = table("TableTest")
if t==None:
	t=newTable("TableTest",10,3)
	
for i in xrange(1,10):
	  t.setCell(1,i,i)
	  t.setCell(2,i,i*i)
	  t.setCell(3,i,i*i*i)	  
	 
gr = graph("MyTest");
if gr == None :
	gr =  newGraph("MyTest",2,1,2) 

l=gr.layer(1)
l.setTitle("Flux/Frequency")
l.setAxisTitle(Layer.Bottom, "Frequency [Hz]")
l.setAxisTitle(Layer.Left, "Flux [n/s/cm^2]")

 
l.setAntialiasing()
#l.insertCurve(table("Table1"), "Table1_1", Layer.LineSymbols)

l.addCurves(t, (1,3), Layer.Line, 1, 4) # returns True on success
#		self.graphFlux.insertCurve(self.t, "Flux/Frequency_2", Layer.Scatter)        

legend = l.newLegend(str(4))        
#txt=legend.addText(str(4))
legend.setOrigin(5,15)

-- last command -- setOrigin is not available. Neither are the most commands provided on the page above.

Either description or code should change.

Obviously we should favour making it work before giving up and removing the documentation.

I would suggest talking to Martyn Gigg or Russell taylor as to how to start off.

Moved to backlog at the code freeze for R2.6

Fix inheritance hierarchy of LegendWidget in qti.sip declaration

It was wrongly stated that it inherits from QObject so that the Python type was showing up as QWidget & not the leaf class LegendWidget Refs #7142

Branch: ​bugfix/7142_qtiplot_python_cmds

Tester: As far as I can tell the script attached to the description should now work. I have edited the documentation page in the description to remove some commands like addText that are no longer in our code base or the HEAD of the current QtiPlot sources.

[Jay Rainey]

I ran through the 1D plot options in Mantid 3.1 to verify which options did not work. I then build the branch locally and tested from it. All options now work as expected.
