Hi there (again),
I found out a way to upload the file and if this is uploaded then the data is stored in the entity. I’ve also added a SVGView to display the data as an image using matplotlib.
It’s not quite clear for me how the controller knows when to update the image because I can see that the data is loaded in my simple print debug statements but the image is empty because the data is not there yet.
So how can I proceed to update the plot after the data is loaded?
The code is here;https://github.com/breinbaas/v_ncross
and if you need the actual testdata (not in the repo) I can send it to you
Thanks in advance
There are 2 possible ways a view can be updated:
- Fast view (
duration_guess <= 3): update is done immediately after a triggering action
- Slow view (
duration_guess > 3): update is done if the user clicks the view’s update button
See here for more info on the fundamentals of triggering actions.

I looked at your code and noticed that you store data on the Controller as a class variable. This is not going to work, your code is rerun each trigger action, meaning your code should be stateless.
I would advise you to do the “Getting Started” (or at least have a look at the “Build your first app”) section first, to get a quick tour on getting started with VIKTOR and its fundamentals.
