Re: turning off pylab inline plots

[Pierre Raybaut]

The "IPython Qt Console.exe" launcher is hard-coded to run IPython
with inline pylab mode turned on.

But, there is a "scripts" folder at the WinPython root directory level
which contains examples of batch scripts for running things with the
embedded Python interpreter in the correct environment.

Deriving from the 'pyqt_demo.bat' example, I've just wrote the following lines:

@echo off
call %~dp0env.bat
cd %WINPYDIR%\Scripts
start %WINPYDIR%\pythonw.exe ipython-script.py qtconsole --pylab=qt %*

Copy/paste them to a new file named 'ipython.bat' and located in this
'scripts' directory.

Note that the final "%*" syntax allows you to pass command line
options to this batch script which will be redirected to IPython.

HTH,

You're right, that's easier but the original request was to be able to
change this option for the standalone IPython Qt Console launched with
the "IPython Qt Console.exe" launcher, not the one which may be
launched from Spyder.
