Qt Console

If you have an IPython installation which includes support for the popular Qt library, then you should be able to use the Qt console for IPython. You will have this user interface available, if your IPython installation comes from a Python distribution, such as the Enthought Canopy (EPD) or Continuum Analytics Anaconda.

Here are some nice features of the Qt console:

  • Inline display of plots.
  • Easy zooming of font sizes.

Starting

Windows

  • Use Windows-R (while holding down on the Windows key, type R) to display a Run prompt.

  • Type:

    ipython-qtconsole
    

    and press Enter.

  • If the above does not work, then type the following at the Run prompt instead:

    ipython qtconsole
    

    and press Enter.
