Hey Gokhan, thanks for the summary.

Basically what today's '-pylab' does is: - a bunch of imports - the equivalent of %gui, but uglier and at startup - do plt.ion() for you - patch %run a little so it does ioff() before starting up and ion() at the end. As you can see, even now with trunk in the state of upheaval it is, you can get almost all of this back with this snippet. This is pretty much what we'll make available built-in when the dust settles (with the 'import *' being optional, as they are today): %gui -a qt import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.pylab as pylab import matplotlib.mlab as mlab from numpy import * from matplotlib.pyplot import * plt.ion() ### END CODE Cheers, f ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
