Hi,

I'm looking for a Julia console with inline graphics (e.g. to display Gadfly plots). There's Jupyter/IJulia, of course, but I saw a picture of something more console-like in the AxisArrays readme (at the end of https://github.com/mbauman/AxisArrays.jl#example-of-currently-implemented-behavior) - does anyone know what's been used there?

Cheers,

Oliver

I believe that's iTerm being used with https://github.com/Keno/TerminalExtensions.jl.  Depending on the complexity of your plots, https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl may be sufficient for you.

If you can prepare your graphics as png/jpg/etc. and you are using iterm, you can just look at how iterm handle inline graphics here. https://www.iterm2.com/images.html

Specifically, look at how the utility script imgcat works.

Of course - something this cool, Keno had to be behind it. ;-) Unfortunately (in this respect) I'm on Linux, so I don't have iTerm. Hm, I wonder if
there's a Linux terminal emulator that could do it ... xterm has graphics capabilities (used by w3m, for example), for example ...

There is qtconsole to display inline images.

ITerm with Compose.jl and TerminalExtensions.jl allows me to use GraphPlots.jl to visualize LightGraph output.
