Description : An interface to the rich display capabilities of 'Jupyter' front-ends. Designed to be used from a running IRkernel.
IRdisplay is a front-end package for Jupyter. It’s automatically integrated into IRkernel when you open a Jupyter notebook using that kernel.
The primary, high level functions are:
display(obj, ..., mimetypes=<from option>, error_handler=stop)
display_png(data = NULL, file = NULL, width = NULL, height = NULL)
# display_jpeg(…); display_pdf(…); display_svg(…)
display_html(data = NULL, file = NULL)
# display_javascript(…), display_json(…), display_markdown(…), display_latex(…)
Use display to display an object in all configured mime types (see Configuration), and the display_* functions to display raw data you have in form of a file or a variable.
Manual use is possible via the *_mimebundle functions:
prepare_mimebundle(obj, mimetypes=<from option>, metadata=NULL, error_handler=stop)
publish_mimebundle(data, metadata = NULL)
Where prepare_mimebundle uses repr to create a mimebundle containing representations of objects, and publish_mimebundle sends such mimebundles to Jupyter.
