I am trying to insert an image in Google Colaboratory (markdown) already saved in Google Drive using this expression  but it doesn't work. For example, the Colaboratory markdown manual shows how to insert a photo inline with this example An inline image: . Ok, that is a photo from internet, but, when I replace that photo for one already saved in my Google Drive it doesn't appear.
If you have a link like this, then I've got a solution.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/-------/view?usp=sharing
In Google Drive, right-click on the picture
Choose 'Get a sharable link'
Click to 'Copy link'. You need reader permissions. Just need the id of the image.
In my case my link is:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xDrydbSbijvK2JBftUz-5ovagN2B_RWH/view?usp=sharing
Now we need to copy JUST the image id:
1xDrydbSbijvK2JBftUz-5ovagN2B_RWH
We will use this base link to generate your link with the image id:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=your_id
We then copy the id in the link:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1xDrydbSbijvK2JBftUz-5ovagN2B_RWH
Finally, to place as an image in Google Colab:
I tried all the answers above and nothing worked because of a small change Google has created recently(at the time of writing this post). If you click on "Get Shareable link" and paste it, it would look something like this:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=12BumFEqzKxc9mog8tYuUqvpxf10ot6W3
Now just change the open?id to uc?id and it will instantly work.
According to the answers here
From the next 3 formats only the first one worked for me:
Here is an example using plain html instead of markdown.
<figure>
<center>
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Rb6oXW3KufLApvID5MwxsknpoON2CkQ_' />
<figcaption>Image Caption</figcaption></center>
</figure>
This way, you can also center the image, add captions etc
Unfortunately, I have tried the methods above but they didn't work for me. Then I have tried simply right-clicking on the picture that I want to display on colab, and choose 'Get a sharable link', then the link is automatically copied to my clipboard:
The link will be something like
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=-----
Then using colab's picture inserting button, and insert that link to the (https://) part
worked like a magic!
However, if you get a link like this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/-------/view?usp=sharing
after making picture public, it somehow doesn't work.
This below method works for me:
Upload the image on google drive.
Enable link sharing (Right click on image > Get shareable link)
Change access type from 'Restricted' to 'Anyone with link', keep role as 'Viewer', click 'Done'(pop up should close).
Double click on image, Spot 'More actions' icon(top right corner, 3 vertical dots).. click on it and next select 'Open in new tab' from the more action menu, a new windows opens.
Now again, spot 'More actions' icon(top right corner, 3 vertical dots).. click on it and select 'Embed item'. It will give you a HTML 'Embed snippet'.
Copy that HTML snippet and paste it in your Colab noteboook inside a markdown or code cell.
If you use a code cell, you can use magic function %%html (change iframe width and height for your needs).
%%html
<iframe src="link_placeholder" width="600" height="300"></iframe>
I tried all of the above methods, and nothing works for me. However, there is a workaround that bypasses the use of Google Drive altogether: Simply insert the image as Base64 data in normal HTML like so:
<img src='data:image/png;base64, ...lots of base64-data.. style="max-width:100%;" />
If you, for example, are using draw.io to draw a diagram that you want to include, there is a handy option for embedding data (under file->embed). If you choose "image" in this menu, you'll get a pop-up with the relevant code for you to copy. Otherwise there are image to base64-converters online that you can use.
The downside of this method is that you'll end up with a lot of data to paste. However, if you use a dedicated cell for this purpose, there won't be any need to edit that cell ever again.
(As a side note, this method works in most Markdown editors if you for some reason are unable to include an image file. Sometimes it will also work to use SVG data instead of base64, but this does not work in Google Colab.)
Here are my solutions. I liked the first one more.
First Solution :
Step1: First use a wget to fetch the picture, do not use svg file! just png
!wget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Jupyter_logo.svg/207px-Jupyter_logo.svg.png
Run the code
Step2: Get the name of the file from last line '207px-Jupyter_logo.svg.png', after you run the wget.
from IPython.display import Image
Image("207px-Jupyter_logo.svg.png")
Run the code!
Second Solution:
use the code below and use png file
from google.colab.patches import cv2_imshow
!curl -o logo.png https://colab.research.google.com/img/colab_favicon_256px.png
import cv2
img = cv2.imread('logo.png', cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
cv2_imshow(img)
So enjoy :)
Solution for svg or other type of files
Anyway, use your link :)
3rd from Github_md_guideline
Once you get the public URL of the image, you can insert it in a Markdown cell
With
Or in a Code cell (this trick is just in Colab, as far as I know)
With
##markdown 
So you can have Markdown within a code cell.
Link to shareable image is restricted to unique code associated to that picture. Once you update the picture (happens), then you need to update the link too.
Alternative ways are described here . My solution is given there too, so I will not copy past it here.
You can simply copy the picture in the clipboard and paste it in a markdown cell
hope someone to help me, thanks!
When I use dita-ot-3.0 to output pdf, I find in many places, the images are displayed in the same line with text.
I try two plugins:
- default pdf2 plugin
- a customization pdf plugin using PDF Plugin Generator at https://github.com/jelovirt/dita-generator (I didnot find any place to set image attribute)
So here is my question, I write xml like this:
source xml file
When I output pdf, I get this:
image is shown in the same line with text
there are many other images showing like that. How can I make the image show starting from a new line? Am I misusing the element？ Is the difference between inline element or block?
You should be able to do this by setting the attribute placement="break" to the <image> element. This is explained in the spec.
I want to display an image on our MediaWiki site using the description from its file description page as the caption in the syntax [[File:imagename.png|frame|caption]]. To clarify, I'm not trying to link to the image's description page.
I've read some things about querying the API on this question but I'm struggling to see how I can display the result of the query on the property (be it iiprop=comment or rvprop=content or...something else) in the source itself.
If this is a locally uploaded file, and your description pages don't have extraneous formatting, you could get away with something like this:
[[File:imagename.png|frame|{{File:imagename.png}}]]
But there's plenty of ways that can go wrong...
What I'm trying to do is this: I have a string with the full path to the image. I tried to add an external image to my report and set the image source to my string. but every time I load the report, it doesn't load the image. How do I do this, or is there a better way of doing this?
Thank you
For an External image, the image source needs to be a URL for the image. Reporting Services will try to get the image using anonymous access.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220527.aspx
Ok, I got it figured out. What I did was in the image properties, in the General Tab, I selected the image source as External, I then created a report parameter Called "#ImageURL", and selected it in the "Use this image:".
On the form I added this line of code:
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(New Parameter("ImageURL", string.concat("file:\","C:\ImagesFolder\ImageName.jpg")))
this brings up the image correctly.
I want to put a image into a post, but it seems I just cannot get it work.
For example, this one:
http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=ACHN&p=D&b=5&g=0&i=t88400486500&r=9913
The output is a PNG file. So in HTML tab, i put,
< img src="http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=ACHN&p=D&b=5&g=0&i=t88400486500&r=9913">,(I leave a empty space between the < and image otherwise, stackoverflow won't allow me to put a image tag here) it just won't show up the correct image. The image you will see is "go to stockcharts.com to view this chart", that is because the URL is wrong. If the URL is correct, the image will display fine. Any way to work around?
I was trying to play around with the formatting.php file, but so far, no luck.
(It is quite strange though, if you put the URL into your IE URL bar, and press enter, it shows up fine with a chart.)
Thanks.
Your URL is a web page, NOT an image. When you try to insert the link as an image, the html IMG tag is used to specify the FILE NAME to be inserted. The file can be on a different url but it should not refer to just another uri.
to get around it, you have 4 options:
Specify the image file name directly and not the uri with the img tag.
Use iframe and put the uri
use frame (I'd not go for this)
Use Ajax and fill it in a DIV tag - most effective in my opinion.
