Display Pandas Pie, line and other graphs from Database in Tkinter window

Plotting graphs in Tkinter generated from Pandas dataframe using data from MySQL or SQLite database

import pandas as pd
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg
my_dict={'NAME':['Infant','Child','Young','Old'],'Nos':[30,40,50,50]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=my_dict)
lbl=['Infant','Child','Young','Old']
fig1=df.plot.pie(title="Population",y='Nos',
        figsize=(3,3),labels=lbl).get_figure();

import tkinter  as tk 
my_w = tk.Tk()
my_w.geometry("400x400")  # Size of the window 
my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')
plot1 = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig1, my_w)
plot1.get_tk_widget().grid(row=1,column=1,padx=30,pady=30)
my_w.mainloop()  # Keep the window open

Multiple plots in same window.

Dynamic plots using database

Dynamic Plot in Tkinter window from Database

We can create the graphs dynamically based on user inputs. For this here we have used one Combobox where we displayed the list of classes of our student table. User can select one class from the list and on selection of the class the marks of students of the selected class is collected and the graph is generated.

Initially the Combobox is populated by using unque class names ( distinct query ) from the student table.

query="SELECT distinct(class) as class FROM student"
my_data=my_conn.execute(query) # SQLAlchem engine result
my_list = [r for r, in my_data] # default options for combobox

Here we have used the Pandas DataFrame read_sql() method, which creates the Pandas DataFrame by collecting data from the MySQL ( or SQLite ) database. Download all sample tables below. The query to collect data is changed based on the selection of class by user.

query="SELECT name,mark FROM student WHERE class='"+sel.get()+"'"
    df = pd.read_sql(query,my_conn,index_col='name')

The combobox option textvariable is connected to a StringVar ( sel ) . The trace method of the sel ( string variable ) triggers the my_upd() function. Inside this function we kept our code to show the graph. Each time the option of the Combobox is changed the trace method trigger the my_upd() function to generate a new graph.

sel.trace('w',my_upd) # track the change event

The full code is here

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
import pandas as pd
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg
# for MySQL database use the below line
my_conn = create_engine("mysql+mysqldb://root:test@localhost/my_tutorial")
# for SQLite database use the below line. 
#my_conn = create_engine("sqlite:///D:\\testing\\sqlite\\my_db.db")
query="SELECT distinct(class) as class FROM student"
                
my_data=my_conn.execute(query) # SQLAlchem engine result
my_list = [r for r, in my_data] # default options for combobox
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
my_w = tk.Tk()
my_w.geometry("400x450")  # Size of the window 
my_w.title("www.plus2net.com")  # Adding a title
def my_upd(*args): # On selection of options 
    query="SELECT name,mark FROM student WHERE class='"+sel.get()+"'"
    df = pd.read_sql(query,my_conn,index_col='name')
    #print(df)
    #fig1=df.plot.pie(title="Marks",y='mark',
    #    figsize=(3,3)).get_figure();
    fig1=df.plot.line(title="Mark",y='mark',
        figsize=(3,3)).get_figure();    
    plot1 = FigureCanvasTkAgg(fig1, my_w)
    plot1.get_tk_widget().grid(row=2,column=1,padx=30,pady=30)
        
sel=tk.StringVar()  # string variable 
cb1 = ttk.Combobox(my_w, values=my_list,width=15,textvariable=sel)
cb1.grid(row=1,column=1,padx=30,pady=30)
sel.trace('w',my_upd) # track the change event 
my_w.mainloop()  # Keep the window open
