I was thinking of ipython_config.py, which is full python. Then, add a hook for a function to be run whenever a figure is created. I don't know if I can access the matplotlib stuff from ipython_config.py though. I'll take a look. Just curious: what's the point of having a specific rc format, instead of just running python code and defining a few special functions to make it easier to write a config file? If you want to keep the rc format, why not add a command to run a python file? > > If you are interested in taking a crack at this Antoine, we'd be happy > to evaluate a pull request.
