[IPython-dev] Paste images into the notebook

[Abraham D. Flaxman]

This works for me, and it is something I've thought would be useful for a while now.  So thanks!  I put an example notebook together using it here: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/aflaxman/8886274

I agree that it is slow, but I want it so much I'm willing to wait.  But do you have any thoughts on how it can go faster?

This is my hack. Slow as hell for anything larger than some 10k.

window.addEventListener('paste', function(event){
    var cell = IPython.notebook.get_selected_cell();
    var items = event.clipboardData.items;
    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) {
        if (items[i].kind == 'file' && items[i].type.indexOf('image/') !== -1) {
            var blob = items[i].getAsFile();
            window.URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
            var blobUrl = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
            var img = document.createElement('img');
            img.src = blobUrl;

            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.onload = ( function(evt) {
                var new_cell = IPython.notebook.insert_cell_below('markdown');
                var str = '<img src="' + evt.target.result + '">';
                new_cell.set_text(str);
                new_cell.edit_mode();
                new_cell.execute();
                } );
            reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
        }
    }
});
