Classes

DisplayObject

class IPython.core.display.DisplayObject(data=None, url=None, filename=None)

Bases: object

An object that wraps data to be displayed.

__init__(data=None, url=None, filename=None)

Create a display object given raw data.

When this object is returned by an expression or passed to the display function, it will result in the data being displayed in the frontend. The MIME type of the data should match the subclasses used, so the Png subclass should be used for ‘image/png’ data. If the data is a URL, the data will first be downloaded and then displayed. If

Parameters :

data : unicode, str or bytes

The raw data or a URL to download the data from.

url : unicode

A URL to download the data from.

filename : unicode

Path to a local file to load the data from.

reload()

Reload the raw data from file or URL.

HTML

class IPython.core.display.HTML(data=None, url=None, filename=None)

Bases: IPython.core.display.DisplayObject

__init__(data=None, url=None, filename=None)

Create a display object given raw data.

When this object is returned by an expression or passed to the display function, it will result in the data being displayed in the frontend. The MIME type of the data should match the subclasses used, so the Png subclass should be used for ‘image/png’ data. If the data is a URL, the data will first be downloaded and then displayed. If

Parameters :

data : unicode, str or bytes

The raw data or a URL to download the data from.

url : unicode

A URL to download the data from.

filename : unicode

Path to a local file to load the data from.

reload()

Reload the raw data from file or URL.

Image

class IPython.core.display.Image(data=None, url=None, filename=None, format=u'png', embed=None)

Bases: IPython.core.display.DisplayObject

__init__(data=None, url=None, filename=None, format=u'png', embed=None)

Create a display an PNG/JPEG image given raw data.

When this object is returned by an expression or passed to the display function, it will result in the image being displayed in the frontend.

Parameters :

data : unicode, str or bytes

The raw data or a URL to download the data from.

url : unicode

A URL to download the data from.

filename : unicode

Path to a local file to load the data from.

format : unicode

The format of the image data (png/jpeg/jpg). If a filename or URL is given for format will be inferred from the filename extension.

embed : bool

Should the image data be embedded using a data URI (True) or be loaded using an <img> tag. Set this to True if you want the image to be viewable later with no internet connection in the notebook.

Default is True, unless the keyword argument url is set, then default value is False.

Note that QtConsole is not able to display images if embed is set to False

Examples

# embed implicitly True, works in qtconsole and notebook Image(‘http://www.google.fr/images/srpr/logo3w.png‘)

# embed implicitly False, does not works in qtconsole but works in notebook if # internet connection available Image(url=’http://www.google.fr/images/srpr/logo3w.png‘)

reload()

Reload the raw data from file or URL.

JSON

class IPython.core.display.JSON(data=None, url=None, filename=None)

Bases: IPython.core.display.DisplayObject

__init__(data=None, url=None, filename=None)

Create a display object given raw data.

When this object is returned by an expression or passed to the display function, it will result in the data being displayed in the frontend. The MIME type of the data should match the subclasses used, so the Png subclass should be used for ‘image/png’ data. If the data is a URL, the data will first be downloaded and then displayed. If

Parameters :

data : unicode, str or bytes

The raw data or a URL to download the data from.

url : unicode

A URL to download the data from.

filename : unicode

Javascript

class IPython.core.display.Javascript(data=None, url=None, filename=None, lib=None, css=None)

Bases: IPython.core.display.DisplayObject

__init__(data=None, url=None, filename=None, lib=None, css=None)

Create a Javascript display object given raw data.

When this object is returned by an expression or passed to the display function, it will result in the data being displayed in the frontend. If the data is a URL, the data will first be downloaded and then displayed.

In the Notebook, the containing element will be available as element, and jQuery will be available. The output area starts hidden, so if the js appends content to element that should be visible, then it must call container.show() to unhide the area.

Parameters :

data : unicode, str or bytes

The Javascript source code or a URL to download it from.

url : unicode

A URL to download the data from.

filename : unicode

Path to a local file to load the data from.
