That is Python code, so it won't work in IJulia. You might be able to use PyCall:

Or use the Julia Images package to load the file:

Once you have an image loaded, then `display(img)` should work.

[Patrick O'Leary]

You can do this with Images.jl. Example: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/timholy/Images.jl/blob/master/ImagesDemo.html

Awesome, thanks for the quick response!

You can also use plain HTML in a markdown cell.

Yes, you can use <img ...> tags, but then the image data is not included in the notebook file itself, so unless the image is on a server somewhere that makes it more annoying to share the notebook (as you have to remember to copy the image file along with the notebook).

the src url of the <img ...> tag can itself be a base64 encoded image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme#HTML

True. I share my notebooks as GitHub repos, so I've always passed the images along.

You can also base64 encode an image and paste the resulting string
into a HTML img tag. Works well for smaller images, but might get
unwieldy for larger ones.

Jupyter just added a feature to drag-and-drop or paste images into markdown cells that should make it a lot easier to create notebooks with technical illustrations: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/pull/621
