Hello everyone hope you are well. I have been working on a visualization tool using PyQT5. With this said, I would like to embed the source estimates plot. Altough, I was able to embeed when the backend is matplotlib, I would prefer to do this with the plot generated by the pyvistaqt backend. Is there anyway to perform this?

Thank you in advance,  
Best regards all,

Pedro Gomes
