Thank you very much, somehow your code helped me in resolving an issue with my PyQtGraph.

I am getting the error that python has stopped working

This wasn't working for me, I updated the following lines to fix:

self.app = QtGui.QApplication([])  #old
self.app = pg.mkQApp() #new

self.win = pg.GraphicsWindow(title="Basic plotting examples")  #old
self.win = pg.GraphicsLayoutWidget(show=True, title="Basic plotting examples") #new

QtGui.QApplication.instance().exec_()  #old
pg.exec() #new
