[IPython-dev] How IPython achieve embedding of matplotlib figure ?

[Guillaume Pichard]

Hello,

I would like to replicate the Pylab feature from IPython (embedded  
matplotlib figures) in my own application.
I'm using Python embedded in C++ using the Python C-API.

What I would like to know is how IPython achieve this feature and how  
can I replicate it with my own Python code ? I saw that there are  
using displayhook, but how can IPython catch output from matplotlib  
functions ?

I would be greatful if you could give me some pointers on how to do  
this feature.

Regards,
Guillaume.
