[IPython-User] Calling 'Image' several times in the same cell

[Ariel Rokem-2]

Hi everyone, 

Working in the notebook (on a recent github HEAD), I am trying to loop over a list of png file names and call Image on each one of them so that the output of that cell would ideally look something like: 

figure1 

figure2

...etc. 

I am doing that by calling the following code: 

from IPython.display import Image

for l in os.listdir('.'):

    if l.endswith('.png'):

        Image(filename=l)

But I am getting no output. In a following cell, I just do: 

Image(filename=l)

And that works just fine - I get a display of the last file in that list. 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance! 

Ariel

There is a difference between what is "displayed" and the "return value" of the cell.
the return value is display after the "out" prompt, whereas the displayed value are before the out prompt.

as in a for loop you would use print :

for i in range(10):
    print i

you will need to import display from IPython.display  and use it to actually display the images :

> from IPython.display import Image, display
> for l in os.listdir('.'):
>     if l.endswith('.png'):
>         display(Image(filename=l)) # added display


Does this make sense ?

You should call display(Image(....)).

display() is the IPython equivalent of 'print' for the notebook.  By
default, we only call display on the *last* block of a cell, and  not
in a loop.  So just like

for i in range(10):
  i

wouldn't print you the numbers and instead you'd write

for i in range(10):
  print i

then you should do:

for i in images:
  display(Image(i))

Cheers,

f

Argh! Gmail updated my inbox *after* I'd sent essentially the same
thing Matthias wrote ;)  Sorry for the dupe.

Thanks to both of you for the answers. It all makes sense and works great!
