import jupyter_capture_output

%%capture_text --path "foo.txt"
print("Hello World")

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

%%capture_img --path "foo.png bar.png"
plt.plot([1,2],[10,20])
plt.show()
plt.plot([3,4],[-10,-20])
plt.show()

%%capture_img  --path "foo.jpg bar.jpg" --compression 50
plt.plot([1,2],[10,20], color = "r")
plt.show()
plt.plot([3,4],[-10,-20],color = "r")
plt.show()

Implemented

• %%capture_text -> to .txt file with text output
• %%capture_img -> to .png or .jpg with image output
• %%capture_video -> to .mp4 file with the video output

Wishlist

• %%capture_svg -> to .svg file with svg vectorgraphic outout
• %%capture_numpy_array -> to .np file with array
• %%capture_csv -> to .csv with datapoints
• %%capture_gif -> to .gif with animation
• %%capture_auto-> automatically detects what output there is to capture

Changelog

0.0.8

• Add capture_code magic. Because this is not cell output but cell content, it might be worth to think about renaming this project from capture-output to only capture or even capture-content.
• remove experimental_capture_video_first_last and experimental_video_thumbnail again. This package is not the right place for that.

0.0.7

• Add relative path support and automatically create paths if they don't exist yet.

Add some experimental magic, but this will likely be removed in future versions:

• • experimental_capture_video_first_last captures video and extracts first and last frame from it. Useful for post-processing of videos in other video editors. Needs ffmpeg installed

• experimental_video_thumbnail extracts video from the Jupyter cell output, and replaces it with an image thumbnail of the video -> useful for Version control. Needs matplotlib and ffmpeg installed
