How can I display an image from a file in Jupyter Notebook

Question

I would like to use an IPython notebook as a way to interactively analyze some genome charts I am making with Biopython s GenomeDiagram module  While there is extensive documentation on how to use matplotlib to get graphs inline in IPython notebook  GenomeDiagram uses the ReportLab toolkit which I don t think is supported for inline graphing in IPython    I was thinking  however  that a way around this would be to write out the plot genome diagram to a file and then open the image inline which would have the same result with something like this   gd diagram write  test png    PNG   display file  test png     However  I can t figure out how to do this - or know if it s possible  So does anyone know if images can be opened displayed in IPython

If you want to efficiently display big number of images I recommend using IPyPlot package  import ipyplot  ipyplot plot images images array  max images 20  img width 150      There are some other useful functions in that package where you can display images in interactive tabs  separate tab for each label class  which is very helpful for all the ML classification tasks

If you are trying to display an Image in this way inside a loop  then you need to wrap the Image constructor in a display method   from IPython display import Image  display  listOfImageNames      path to images 1 png                         path to images 2 png    for imageName in listOfImageNames      display Image filename imageName

When using GenomeDiagram with Jupyter  iPython   the easiest way to display images is by converting the GenomeDiagram to a PNG image  This can be wrapped using an IPython display Image object to make it display in the notebook   from Bio Graphics import GenomeDiagram from Bio SeqFeature import SeqFeature  FeatureLocation from IPython display import display  Image gd diagram   GenomeDiagram Diagram  Test diagram   gd track for features   gd diagram new track 1  name  Annotated Features   gd feature set   gd track for features new set   gd feature set add feature SeqFeature FeatureLocation 25  75   strand  1   gd diagram draw format  linear   orientation  landscape   pagesize  A4                   fragments 1  start 0  end 100  Image gd diagram write to string  PNG       See Notebook
