- WebGL is not supported by your browser - for scatter, line, scatter3d plots

PLEASE FILL OUT THE TEMPLATE

Hello, thank you for this amazing app, it is really helpful.

Describe the bug

Some plots works and other don’t. Histogram is fine, as well as Contour and Heatmap.

But the two main ones that I want to use (scatter, line) don’t work and shows a message in the GUI when I click on the “Finish” button :

" WebGL is not supported by your browser - visit https://get.webgl.org for more info"

I think (not 100% sure) that i remember these types of plots were working like a week or two ago, but nothing really changed in my code since (no pip packages upgraded)

The python console says WebEngineContext used before QtWebEngine::initialize() or OpenGL context creation failed.

each first time I use the function show() from pandasgui. I think this message is related to the issue but I have no idea how to fix it.

Any help would be much appreciated. I did read this related issue but didn’t find any fix for my case there https://github.com/adamerose/pandasgui/issues/25

Thank you!

All right so here’s new insights :

from pandasgui import show
from pandasgui.datasets import pokemon
show(pokemon)

gives no problem on a blank script. This was indeed a problem with my original script. I found the issue so here is some reproducible code :

import pandas as pd 
# from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtWebEngineWidgets # uncomment this line to fix the scattter plot issue

db=pd.read_csv('testfull') # only 'testfull' file gives the error, 'test' which is only a 4 row dataframe is not giving any error
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

a=db.close+10
a.plot(legend=True)
b=db.close+20
b.plot(legend=True)
a=db.close+30
a.plot(legend=True)
a=db.close+50
a.plot(legend=True)
db.close.plot(secondary_y=True,legend=True)
plt.show()

from pandasgui import show
show(db) 

I uploaded two text files which are dataframes. The one named " test " is a very small and doesn’t give the issue. The bigger version " testfull " has the WebGl error.

Thanks, this example gives the same error on my Windows 10 machine so I can debug.

Obviously this has to do with conflicts with matplolib. If you remove all the .plot() parts, pandasgui is working fine. But it’s strange that importing Qt packages before fixes this anyway.

I suspect it might be related to this workaround where I temporarily kill the QApplication created by matplotlib’s backend to allow importing QtWebEngineWidgets. It’s supposed to warn you when this happens but I just noticed a problem with the logger so this didn’t happen (that’s fixed on the dev branch now).

The workaround seems to work fine in simple cases like below, but it breaks WebGL when it kills the QApplication created by matplotlib. I’ll see if that can be fixed

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
from pandasgui import show
from pandasgui.datasets import pokemon
show(pokemon)

I think I found a fix here, interestingly just attempting to run from PyQt5 import QtWebEngineWidgets with an existing QApplication breaks OpenGL even inside a try/catch. So my workaround now uses if statements instead of try/catch, and your example works for me now. Let me know it doesn’t for you (test the latest version with pip install git+https://github.com/adamerose/pandasgui.git)
