Hi,
I used to start ipython notebook with the --pylab flag, so I have all
kinds of usefull functions directly available. By guessing and
tab-completion many usefull functions, for data analysis popped up.
(like plot, display etc).
Now the --pylab flag will deprecate soon, what is the best alternative
for an interactive environment. I already found it usefull to import
from pylab:
from pylab import *
However, the --pylab flag did more: it also loaded a bunch of ipython
functions, like IPython.display.display.
Is there a preffered way to load this? To configure this in some
enviroment?
I just found the
%pylab
magic. Should I put this in the top cell of all my notebooks? What
should I advice to my starting collegues?
Groet,
Vasco
