"""An interface for publishing rich data to frontends.

There are two components of the display system:

* Display formatters, which take a Python object and compute the
  representation of the object in various formats (text, HTML, SVG, etc.).
* The display publisher that is used to send the representation data to the
  various frontends.

This module defines the logic display publishing. The display publisher uses
the ``display_data`` message type that is defined in the IPython messaging
spec.

        * image/jpeg
        * image/svg+xml

        Parameters
        ----------
        data : dict
            A dictionary having keys that are valid MIME types (like
            'text/plain' or 'image/svg+xml') and values that are the data for
            that MIME type. The data itself must be a JSON'able data
            structure. Minimally all data should have the 'text/plain' data,
            which can be displayed by all frontends. If more than the plain
            text is given, it is up to the frontend to decide which
            representation to use.
        metadata : dict
            A dictionary for metadata related to the data. This can contain
            arbitrary key, value pairs that frontends can use to interpret
            the data.  Metadata specific to each mime-type can be specified
            in the metadata dict with the same mime-type keys as
            the data itself.
