[IPython-dev] Ascii imshow

[Nicolas Rougier]

Thanks, the guide has been very helpful (I opened a bug report for a small typo).


If I did thing properly, here is the summary:
https://github.com/rougier/ipython/compare/master...ascii_imshow

I added the possibility to display MxNx3 (RGB) or MxNx4 (RGBA) since the code is quite similar. There is no test yet since I'm not sure how to test such a visual thing.

I also tried to detect terminal number of colors using curses (if available) because I don't know if IPython already got some terminal capabilities related functions (mainly, size and number of colors).
