         format : unicode
             The format of the image data (png/jpeg/jpg). 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 to which to constrain the image in html
         height : int
             Height 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.
