Since I mainly use Vim to develop, I don't have an embedded file viewer like VSCode so I wrote this snippet to visualize graphs in a floating window. But I'm opening this draft PR to open the discussion whether it should be upstreamed, and if so, what technical considerations.
I'm aware that
isdefined(Main, :VSCodeServer)
allows us to check if the REPL is being run in VSCode (and likewise for Juypter and IJulia), but I didn't write a validation to check that as I assumed a user would call this function in order to visualize the graph in a floating window.run
statements be used in code?feh
for example is not an image viewer everyone uses.
