ipython -wthread vs. ipython -pylab

W

Wolfram Brenig

Hi,

I have a problem with the ipython shell: frequently, within one session
I would like to do 2D plotting, using matplotlib, as well as 3D
visualization using mayavi

The man page for ipython, matplotlib, and mayavi tell me, that I must
invoke ipython with
ipython -wthread for mayavi and
ipython -pylab for matplotlib
in order to avoid blocking (which indeed happens if I don't
use those options).
However, ipython's manpage also states, that only one of -wthread or
-pylab can be given?

Does that imply I have to get out of the shell each time I want to
switch from matplotlib to mayavi usage? Most likely no. But what should
I do?

Thanks for your help
