Qwt examples

[nitriles]

Hey, ive recently got Qwt to work inside of Qt. Now i want to study the examples that are given with Qwt so that i can make my own 2D graph.
In:
/home/benutzer/Documents/qwt-5.0.2/examples/simple_plot
i have two files:
- simple.cpp
- simple_plot.pro

I want to run these programs so that i can see what they look like. Do i need to convert them to a python file first? How do i do that, which command do i use?
thanks a lot.

Qwt is a C++ library, the examples are C++ code. You need to install a C++ development environment and have to compile and link the Qwt examples before you can execute them.

But maybe you are looking for PyQwt (http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net). It offers Python Bindings for the Qwt library.

HTH,

I am indeed looking for PyQwt, which should be installed already.
So how should I go about installing/opening these examples?
Is it something similar to converting .ui Qt files into .py codes:
pyuic form.ui > form.py
Thanks!

Ok so i managed opening them!
But now they are in C++ code, how can i get it to python code, ive never had c++ and it is different!

AFAIK PyQwt comes with it's own examples, that are written in Python. This is what you are looking for.

I'm don't know if these examples are included in the PyQwt package you have installed. If you don't find them look at the PyQwt project page.

I'm the author of Qwt, but I never used the Python bindings myself. So for further question better ask Gerard ( the author of the bindings ) on the PyQwt mailing list.
