Backport PR #2384: Adapt inline backend to changes in matplotlib Matplotlib recently merged https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1125 that makes it simpler to use objective oriented figure creation by automatically creating the right canvas for the backend. To solve that all backends must provide a backend_xxx.FigureCanvas. This is obviosly missing from the inline backend. The change is needed to make the inline backend work with mpl's 1.2.x branch which is due to released soon. Simply setting the default canvas equal to a Agg canvas appears to work for both svg and png figures but I'm not sure weather that is the right approach. Should the canvas depend on the figure format and provide a svg canvas for a svg figure? (Note that before this change to matplotlib the canvas from a plt.figure call seams to be a agg type in all cases) Edit: I made the pull request against 0.13.1 since it would be good to have this in the stable branch for when mpl is released. Just let me know and I can rebase it against master

 r0 Notes for Windows Users
=======================
These are just minimal notes. The manual contains more detailed
information.
Requirements
------------
IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned):
- Windows XP (I think WinNT/2000 are ok): works well. It needs:
* Gary Bishop's readline from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools.
* This in turn requires Tomas Heller's ctypes from
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes.
- Windows 95/98/ME: I have no idea. It should work, but I can't test.
- CygWin environments should work, they are basically Posix.
It needs Python 2.2 or newer.
Installation
------------
Double-click the supplied .exe installer file. If all goes well, that's all
you need to do. You should now have an IPython entry in your Start Menu.
In case the automatic installer does not work for some reason, you can
download the ipython-XXX.tar.gz file, which contains the full IPython source
distribution (the popular WinZip can read .tar.gz files). After uncompressing
the archive, you can install it at a command terminal just like any other
Python module, by using python setup.py install'. After this completes, you
can run the supplied win32_manual_post_install.py script which will add
the relevant shortcuts to your startup menu.
