"""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.

        Parameters
        ----------

        data : dict

            arbitrary key, value pairs that frontends can use to interpret
            the data.  Metadata specific to each mime-type can be specified
