Re: [Matplotlib-users] Changing backend with ipython

Hi all, I should point out that for my actual use case, Fernando explained the right thing to do: start ipython *without* pylab, in which case use('Agg') [for example] is legal. Andrew Andrew Jaffe wrote: > Hi, > > Fernando Perez wrote: >> On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 10:52 AM, Andrew Jaffe <[E

Hi- [OK, sorry for all the top-posting...] Anyway, if I move to the current svn, I get In [1]: switch_backend('Agg') --- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /Users/jaffe/home/python/

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Changing backend with ipython

[Matplotlib-users] Changing backend with ipython

Hi all, All the usual apologies if this is a FAQ, but I can't find it. Is there any way to change the backend interactively when using ipython? Best of all would a way to make changes in the middle of a session, but even being able to do it at the beginning without editing matplotlibrc would b
