guiqwt.builder
--------------

The `builder` module provides a builder singleton class 
used to simplify the creation of plot items.

Example
~~~~~~~

Before creating any widget, a `QApplication` must be instantiated 
(that is a `Qt` internal requirement):
          
>>> import guidata
>>> app = guidata.qapplication()

that is mostly equivalent to the following (the only difference is that 
the `guidata` helper function also installs the `Qt` translation 
corresponding to the system locale):
          
>>> from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication
>>> app = QApplication([])

now that a `QApplication` object exists, we may create the plotting widget:

>>> from guiqwt.plot import ImageWidget
>>> widget = ImageWidget()

create curves, images, histograms, etc. and attach them to the plot:

>>> from guiqwt.builder import make
>>> curve = make.mcure(x, y, 'r+')
>>> image = make.image(data)
>>> hist = make.histogram(data, 100)
>>> for item in (curve, image, hist):
...     widget.plot.add_item()

and then show the widget to screen:

>>> widget.show()
>>> app.exec_()
