-# Note that this a workaround
-# When introduced? During the Python2 to Python3 conversion
-# Why introduced? The autogenerated file ui_MainWindow.py contains a line
-#                 from MplFigureCancas import MplFigureCanvas
-#                 which should be
-#                 from .MpsFigureCanvas import MplFigureCanvas
-#                 for Python3, but since it is autogenerated we cannot change
-#                 this easily.
