Render and Drag plots as PDFs from IW
See original GitHub issueSometimes I need to quickly send people a plot over Slack I just created in the interactive window. A cool feature is that you can just drag and drop figures out of the IW. What you get is always a PNG. Is there a way to get a PDF instead without needing to think of a file name and call plt.savefig("my_plot.pdf"), then find the file in Finder? PDFs are usually smaller in file size and vector graphics too, so can be scaled zoomed and searched for text.

I need to try it myself, I think that would generate both, but the drag and drop wouldn’t get the pdf it would get the rendered png.
@janosh This is actually what I was thinking of (it’s how we changed from SVG to PNG): https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/generated/IPython.display.html#IPython.display.set_matplotlib_formats We tweak this value ourselves (we actually have a bug to not override user defaults here), but you should be able to change it after kernel start.
