elisp: Images

 
 37.17 Images
 ============
 
 To display an image in an Emacs buffer, you must first create an image
 descriptor, then use it as a display specifier in the ‘display’ property
 of text that is displayed (Display Property).
 
    Emacs is usually able to display images when it is run on a graphical
 terminal.  Images cannot be displayed in a text terminal, on certain
 graphical terminals that lack the support for this, or if Emacs is
 compiled without image support.  You can use the function
 ‘display-images-p’ to determine if images can in principle be displayed
 (Display Feature Testing).
