can't use label styling

[Samuel Bader]

Hello,

I'm just trying out PyQtGraph for the first time today (PyQtGraph 0.9.8, Windows 64, Python version 2.7.6), and trying to get some basic examples running.  I'm having trouble adding styles to labels, even just using code straight from other messages in this group or from the documentation.

# Imports

import numpy.random as nprand

import pyqtgraph as pg

# Create a window with one plot

win=pg.GraphicsWindow()

pi=win.addPlot(row=0,col=0)

pi.plot(nprand.random_integers(0,high=10,size=50))

# Set labels on that plot

pi.setLabels(title="Bad component i-v",left="Current [mA]")

labelStyle = {'color': '#FFF', 'font-size': '14pt'}

pi.getAxis("bottom").setLabel('Voltage', units='V', **labelStyle)

This code shows the title and the left axis label, but not the bottom label.  If I remove ", **labelStyle", then it works (but, of course, with no styling!).  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sam

Mysterious!

On Linux, I get the expected result. On Win 7, I am able to change the color but not the font size. On your system, no text at all. Sounds like a Qt bug..

Does it work if you supply only a color?

No, it doesn't seem to like any items inside of labelStyling.

Though if I do this:

pi.getAxis("bottom").setLabel('<span style="color: red;font-size: 30pt">Voltage</span>', units='V')

I get the text to be large and colored.  (Understandably, the units are not.)

Best,

Sam
