Displaying graphics and images inline on Wolfram Engine

Thanks for this post!

Wanted to add that Kitty (alternative to iTerm2) also offers a similar feature. To obtain the same results with Kitty, one can replace Run["imgcat " <> fileName] in the module with Run["kitten icat " <> fileName].

Details could be found at https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/icat/

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

You may also create a RAM disk to house your temporary directory.

Cool. I don't know if it's a bad idea or not, but you could make this even more streamlined by setting something like:

$Post = Replace[#, {Alternatives[_Graphics, _Image] :> qView[#]}] &

so that Graphics and Image expressions (and/or whatever else you want) pass through qView automatically? (i.e. saves the effort of typing //qView after each input)

Hi Cornel,

I am not there yet. With the setup described here, it is only possible to display static content. Manipulate, Animate contian Dynamic functions that require the frontend.

Hi Soumya,

This is nice, thanks for sharing. BTW, you can use CreateFile[] to create a unique file in $TemporaryDirectory.
