`IPython.core.display:DisplayObject.init`

source: /IPython/core/display.py :297

Signature

   def     __init__ (    self    ,    data    =  None   ,    url    =  None   ,    filename    =  None   ,    metadata    =  None     )

Summary

Create a display object given raw data.

Extended Summary

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.

Parameters

data : unicode, str or bytes: The raw data or a URL or file to load the data from
url : unicode: A URL to download the data from.
filename : unicode: Path to a local file to load the data from.
metadata : dict: Dict of metadata associated to be the object when displayed
