     - This script shows how to create a custom window around a PlotWidget.

       It subclasses :class:`QMainWindow`, uses a :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWidget`
       as its central widget and adds toolbars and a colorbar by using pluggable widgets:

       - :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWidget` from :mod:`silx.gui.plot`
       - QToolBar from :mod:`silx.gui.plot.tools`
       - QAction from :mod:`silx.gui.plot.actions`

       It uses :class:`~silx.gui.plot.tools.roi.RegionOfInterestManager` and
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.tools.roi.RegionOfInterestTableWidget` to handle the
       interactive selection and to display the list of selected ROIs.

         :width: 150px
     - This script illustrates how to add a print preview tool button to any plot
       widget inheriting :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWidget`.

       Three plot widgets are instantiated. One of them uses a standalone
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PrintPreviewToolButton.PrintPreviewToolButton`,
       while the other two use a
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PrintPreviewToolButton.SingletonPrintPreviewToolButton`
       which allows them to send their content to the same print preview page.
   * - :download:`scatterMask.py <../../../examples/scatterMask.py>`

       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.statsWidget.StatsWidget` from customs
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.stats.Stats` and display it.

       On this example we will:

          - show sum of values for each type
          - compute curve integrals (only for 'curve').
          - compute center of mass for all possible items

       .. note:: for now the possible types manged by the Stats are ('curve', 'image',

:class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWidget` features
...........................................

Sample code that illustrates some functionalities of :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWidget`.

.. list-table::

   * - Source
     - Screenshot
     - Description
   * - :download:`plotContextMenu.py <../../../examples/plotContextMenu.py>`
     - .. image:: img/plotContextMenu.png
         :width: 150px
     - This script illustrates the addition of a context menu to a
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWidget`.

       This is done by adding a custom context menu to the plot area of PlotWidget:
       - set the context menu policy of the plot area to Qt.CustomContextMenu.
       - connect to the plot area customContextMenuRequested signal.

       The same method works with :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWindow.PlotWindow`,
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWindow.Plot1D` and
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWindow.Plot2D` widgets as they
       inherit from :class:`~silx.gui.plot.PlotWidget`.

       For more information on context menus, see Qt documentation.

   * - :download:`plotUpdateCurveFromThread.py <../../../examples/plotUpdateCurveFromThread.py>`
     - .. image:: img/plotUpdateCurveFromThread.png
         :width: 150px
     - This script illustrates the update of a :mod:`silx.gui.plot` widget from a thread.

       The problem is that plot and GUI methods should be called from the main thread.
       To safely update the plot from another thread, one need to execute the update
       asynchronously in the main thread.
       In this example, this is achieved with
       :func:`~silx.gui.utils.concurrent.submitToQtMainThread`.

       In this example a thread calls submitToQtMainThread to update the curve
       of a plot.

       It illustrates the API to set those items.

       It features:

       - 2D images: data and RGBA images
       - 2D scatter data, displayed either as markers, wireframe or surface.
       - 3D scatter plot
       - 3D scalar field with iso-surface and cutting plane.

     - This script illustrates the update of a
       :class:`~silx.gui.plot3d.SceneWindow.SceneWindow` widget from a thread.

       The problem is that GUI methods should be called from the main thread.
       To safely update the scene from another thread, one need to execute the update
       asynchronously in the main thread.
       In this example, this is achieved with
       :func:`~silx.gui.utils.concurrent.submitToQtMainThread`.

       In this example a thread calls submitToQtMainThread to append data to a 3D scatter.

       This is done by adding a custom context menu to the :class:`Plot3DWidget`:

       - set the context menu policy to Qt.CustomContextMenu.
       - connect to the customContextMenuRequested signal.

       For more information on context menus, see Qt documentation.
