"""Test the new %gui command. Run this in ipython as
In [1]: %gui [backend]
In [2]: %run switchgui [backend]
where the optional backend can be one of: qt4, gtk, tk, wx.
Because of subtle difference in how Matplotlib handles the different GUI
toolkits (in things like draw and show), minor modifications to this script
have to be made for Tk to get it to work with the 0.99 and below releases
of Matplotlib. However, in the future, Matplotlib should be able to have
similar logic for all the toolkits, as they are all now using PyOS_InputHook.
