Is it possible to draw only a table with matplotlib? If I uncomment the line 

plt.bar(index, data[row], bar_width, bottom=y_offset, color=colors[row])

of this example code, the plot is still visible. I want to have a table on top of my (PyQt) window and underneath a plot (with some space in between).

This is another option to write a pandas dataframe directly into a matplotlib table:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# hide axes
fig.patch.set_visible(False)
ax.axis('off')
ax.axis('tight')

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4), columns=list('ABCD'))

ax.table(cellText=df.values, colLabels=df.columns, loc='center')

fig.tight_layout()

plt.show()
