        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.
        # The result is always embedding image data for inline images.

        # 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.
