How to control the colors for everything contained in Plotmanager?

[russ]

I am building an application which uses Qt stylesheets to control the look of all the widgets and I need to 

be able to do the same thing with the ImageWidget and CurveWidget's. I tried modifying some of the settings in 

guiqwt/config.py but it doesnt look like things like the background color for plots is available. 

I am likely looking in the wrong place, has someone already done this?

any help appreciated, thanks

guiqwt uses a very outdated version of Qwt ( via pyqwt ), that was
implemented long before stylesheets have been introduced in Qt.

I was able to use stylesheets to change the plot area background. Look at the way you can specify which Qt widgets a stylesheet applies to which can allow you to apply it only to the canvas area.

Thanks for the info, I have a plot in a DockWidget and I had somehow missed how to assign a style to child widgets. So what seems to work is if I have a sub-class of CurveDialog called CurveViewWidget I can assign a style in the sheet like this:

 

/* for the area around the plot */

QDockWidget  .CurveViewerWidget{

   background-color: rgb(90,90,90);

}

 

I also noticed that if I had as the “centralwidget” for my MainWidnow a TabWidget with 2 pages each with an ImageDialog and a CurveViewWidget respectively, the stylesheet would not be applied unless I explicitly called:

 

self.centralwidget.setStyleSheet(ssheet)

 

Thanks
