         """Create a PNG/JPEG image object given raw data.
 
         When this object is returned by an input cell or passed to the
         display function, it will result in the image being displayed
         in the frontend.
 
         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). 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.
 
         Examples
         --------
         # embedded image data, works in qtconsole and notebook
         # when passed positionally, the first arg can be any of raw image data,
         # a URL, or a filename from which to load image data.

         # Specifying Image(url=...) does not embed the image data,
         # it only generates `<img>` tag with a link to the source.
         # This will not work in the qtconsole or offline.
