I just started using Canopy, and it's very nice, but I am unable to create a figure in an external window in iPython Notebook. I would expect
plot(rand(100))
in the notebook to create a new window, as it does when I use the HTML version launched with "ipython notebook --pylab", but the figure is instead inlined when created in Canopy. The same command in the qtconsole in Canopy does create the figure in a new window as I would like it to. Looking through the Canopy/IPython source code for appearances of 'inline' and 'pylab', inlined figures appear to be hard-coded somehow (the comments mention something about compatibility).
Is there is a way around this, where I can still create figures in new windows from the IPython notebook? The inlined figures are unsatisfactory for my work.
