How to embed.

[picousse]

Hi,
Cool lib. I wanted to use it in a webpage app using flask.
However I'm a bit unsure how to embed this?

i've tried this:

graphic_record = BiopythonTranslator().translate_record(os.path.join(project.path, plasmid.path))
            plot = graphic_record.plot(figure_width = 5)
            output = io.BytesIO()
            FigureCanvas(plot).print_png(output)
            return Response(output.getvalue(), mimetype='image/png')

but errors out:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    figure.set_canvas(self)
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'set_canvas'

any help/pointers what I should check?

This maybe?

ax, _ = graphic_record.plot(figure_width = 5)
output = io.BytesIO()
FigureCanvas(ax.figure).print_png(output)
return Response(output.getvalue(), mimetype='image/png')

Also have a look at these two functions I wrote to turn a figure into a base64 url string which you can send back to the client (it probably would work if you just put that in argument to Response in your code)

ax, _ = graphic_record.plot(figure_width = 5)
data = matplotlib_figure_to_bitmap_base64_data(ax.figure, box_inches='tight')
return Response(data, mimetype='image/png')

Hi,
Thanks a lot.
I get some output! Now it is up to me for further tweaking.

Awesome stuff! and fast!
