Overview

A plot tool is an object providing various features to a plotting widget (BasePlot):

• Buttons,

• Menus,

• Selection tools,

• Image I/O tools,

• Etc.

Before being used, a tool has to be registered to a plotting widget’s manager, i.e. an instance of the PlotManager class (see Plot widgets for more details).

The BasePlot widget do not provide any PlotManager: the manager has to be created separately. On the contrary, the ready-to-use widget PlotWidget are higher-level plotting widgets with integrated manager, tools and panels.
