Tom et al.,
I don't know about this exact application... However, a couple of months
ago, I asked on the Scipy mailing list about updating the Scipy cookbook
page for Qt/Matplotlib (
http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Qt_with_IPython_and_Designer),
but I never got a response. The cookbook example is terribly out of date,
so I worked out a pretty simple example that essentially reproduces the Qt
backend plotting window. See my post (
http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-dev/2014-December/020258.html) for an
initial version of the code. I may have updated it since that time. If you
are asking for an example for the MPL docs, I would be happy to write my
example up with some picts, if you could tell me where the most appropriate
place in the documentation would be for such an addition.
(However, it sounds like Creator will supersede Designer for Qt5 so...)
