Display multiple images in one IPython Notebook cell?

If I have multiple images (loaded as NumPy arrays) how can I display the in one IPython Notebook cell?

I know that I can use plt.imshow(ima) to display

Answer 1

You can do it really fast and easy with IPyPlot:

import ipyplot

ipyplot.plot_images(images_array, max_images=20, img_width=150)

You would get a plot similar to this:

It's using IPython.display and HTML under the hood and it can take images in following formats:

• string file paths
• PIL.Image objects
• numpy.ndarray objects representing images

It would take just a few seconds to display a numpy array of 500 images
