     Parameters
     ----------
     objs : tuple of objects
         The Python objects to display.

     include : list, tuple or set, optional
         A list of format type strings (MIME types) to include in the
         format data dict. If this is set *only* the format types included
         in this list will be computed.
     exclude : list, tuple or set, optional
         A list of format type strings (MIME types) to exclude in the format
         data dict. If this is set all format types will be computed,
         except for those included in this argument.
     metadata : dict, optional
         A dictionary of metadata to associate with the output.
         mime-type keys in this dictionary will be associated with the individual
         representation formats, if they exist.
     transient : dict, optional
         A dictionary of transient data to associate with the output.
         Data in this dict should not be persisted to files (e.g. notebooks).
     display_id : str, bool optional
         Set an id for the display.
         This id can be used for updating this display area later via update_display.
         If given as `True`, generate a new `display_id`
     kwargs: additional keyword-args, optional
         Additional keyword-arguments are passed through to the display publisher.
 
     Returns
     -------
 
     handle: DisplayHandle
         Returns a handle on updatable displays for use with :func:`update_display`,
         if `display_id` is given. Returns :any:`None` if no `display_id` is given
         (default).

     Notes
     -----
 
     In Python, objects can declare their textual representation using the
     `__repr__` method. IPython expands on this idea and allows objects to declare
     other, rich representations including:
 
       - HTML
       - JSON
       - PNG
       - JPEG
       - SVG
       - LaTeX
 
     A single object can declare some or all of these representations; all are
     handled by IPython's display system.
 
     The main idea of the first approach is that you have to implement special
     display methods when you define your class, one for each representation you
     want to use. Here is a list of the names of the special methods and the
     values they must return:
 
       - `_repr_html_`: return raw HTML as a string
       - `_repr_json_`: return a JSONable dict
       - `_repr_jpeg_`: return raw JPEG data
       - `_repr_png_`: return raw PNG data
       - `_repr_gif_`: return raw GIF data
       - `_repr_svg_`: return raw SVG data as a string
       - `_repr_latex_`: return LaTeX commands in a string surrounded by "$".
       - `_repr_mimebundle_`: return a full mimebundle containing the mapping
       from all mimetypes to data
 
     When you are directly writing your own classes, you can adapt them for
     display in IPython by following the above approach. But in practice, you
     often need to work with existing classes that you can't easily modify.
 
     You can refer to the documentation on IPython display formatters in order to
     register custom formatters for already existing types.

     Since IPython 5.4 and 6.1 :func:`display` is automatically made available to
     the user without import. If you are using display in a document that might
     be used in a pure python context or with older version of IPython, use the

         Parameters
         ----------
         data : unicode, str or bytes
             The raw image data or a URL or filename to load the data from.
             This always results in embedded image data.
         url : unicode
             A URL to download the data from. If you specify `url=`,
             the image data will not be embedded unless you also specify `embed=True`.
         filename : unicode
             Path to a local file to load the data from.
             Images from a file are always embedded.
         format : unicode
             The format of the image data (png/jpeg/jpg/gif). If a filename or URL is given
             for format will be inferred from the filename extension.
         embed : bool
             Should the image data be embedded using a data URI (True) or be
             loaded using an <img> tag. Set this to True if you want the image
             to be viewable later with no internet connection in the notebook.
 
             Default is `True`, unless the keyword argument `url` is set, then
             default value is `False`.
 
             Note that QtConsole is not able to display images if `embed` is set to `False`
         width : int
             Width in pixels to which to constrain the image in html
         height : int
             Height in pixels to which to constrain the image in html
         retina : bool
             Automatically set the width and height to half of the measured
             width and height.
             This only works for embedded images because it reads the width/height
             from image data.
             For non-embedded images, you can just set the desired display width
             and height directly.
         unconfined: bool
             Set unconfined=True to disable max-width confinement of the image.
         metadata: dict
             Specify extra metadata to attach to the image.
 
         Examples
         --------

         Parameters
         ----------
         data : unicode, str or bytes
             The raw video data or a URL or filename to load the data from.
             Raw data will require passing `embed=True`.
         url : unicode
             A URL for the video. If you specify `url=`,
             the image data will not be embedded.
         filename : unicode
             Path to a local file containing the video.
             Will be interpreted as a local URL unless `embed=True`.
         embed : bool
             Should the video be embedded using a data URI (True) or be
             loaded using a <video> tag (False).
 
             Since videos are large, embedding them should be avoided, if possible.
             You must confirm embedding as your intention by passing `embed=True`.
 
             Local files can be displayed with URLs without embedding the content, via::
 
                 Video('./video.mp4')
 
         mimetype: unicode
             Specify the mimetype for embedded videos.
             Default will be guessed from file extension, if available.
