Following up on William's tip to look at the displayhook function, here
is a function that will enable "pretty-printing" by default in the notebook:
def pretty_print (object):
if object is None:
return
import __builtin__
__builtin__._=object
try:
print html("$"+latex(object)+"$")
except:
import sys
sys.__displayhook__(object)
def notebook_pretty(enable=True):
import sys
if enable:
sys.displayhook = pretty_print
else:
sys.displayhook = sys.__displayhook__
# To enable the pretty-printing
notebook_pretty(True)
Of course the function names could (and probably should) change. This
function makes the notebook much, much more user-friendly to new users,
I think. Where should this function be located? Also, should it be a
switch at the top of the notebook, like the evaluation drop-down menu?
One problem with the above is that graphics objects are not shown by
default (try doing plot(sin(x),1,2) after the above code). Someone
familiar with how graphic objects are shown by default now could
probably trivially fix that problem, though (any takers?).
Thanks,
Jason
