matplotlib inline plot working in GUI window but not in terminal mode with -nw option #891

Open spark159 opened 5 months ago

spark159 commented 5 months ago

matplotlib plot is not shown in terminal mode of emacs with -nw but working in GUI mode. Screenshot 2024-02-13 at 9 18 29 AM Screenshot 2024-02-13 at 9 19 44 AM

in terminal mode, output is just a dot '.' Is there way I can plot in terminal mode?

I already turn on Ein:Output Area Inlined Images toggle and ein:polymode

I am using Terminal on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 And Ein version 20230827.325

Thanks!

I don't think emacs supports iTerm2's extension API (see e.g. this comment). Images in VT200-like terminals are iffy at best. (not saying it can't be done, but it's a tall order and I guess it would require extensive work in the core of emacs).

I am using "Terminal" default app in MacOS, not "iTerm" app. Do you think it would be hard to use display plot at Terminal too?

Thank you for help!

The short answer is tp use the gui.

spark159 commented 5 months ago

I see.

Is this only MacOS problem or all other terminals not working including Linux? do you have any suggestion that I possibly try out to make this work or possible other way around to display the plot in terminal?

just too sad that I can't use this nice package in terminal...

No you can't do this under Linux either. There's a terminal emulator called Kitty which can display images inline, but again emacs does not support it.

Got it! Thanks!
