"""
This demo demonstrates how to embed a matplotlib (mpl) plot 
into a PyQt4 GUI application, including:

* Using the navigation toolbar
* Adding data to the plot
* Dynamically modifying the plot's properties
* Processing mpl events
* Saving the plot to a file from a menu

The main goal is to serve as a basis for developing rich PyQt GUI
applications featuring mpl plots (using the mpl OO API).
