QtPlot xlabel does not show up for SI units with prefix 'u', 'm', 'n' (e.g. 'uV')

Open albe-jj opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Steps to reproduce

1.liveplot using QtPlot, in measurement sweeping parameter with unit with prefix 'u', 'm', 'n' (e.g. using 'uV')

Expected behaviour

Should see the xlabel of the plot

Actual behaviour

the x label disappears in a few 100ms. The labels is visualized correctly if I use 'V', but disappears using e.g. 'uV' note: this only happens with latest release of pyqtgraph (v0.11.1) with prev version (v0.11.0) fixes the problem.

System

Win 10

master branch, qcodes v0.23.0

I have not used Qtplot personally, and as far as I know, it is not under development anymore (the latest release is from about 3 years ago).

We have another tool supported by our team and it is called plottr, which can be used for live plotting and more. I think plottr nicely handles units.
