title: How to display an image within the notebook in Google Colab (like in Anacondan Jupyter Notebook)?
body: <p>I am writing a Google Colab Notebook about Tight Binding Theory. I want to display either in a markdown cell or in a code cell an image, like its possible to do in Anaconda with the following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>from IPython.display import Image # needed to embed an image
  Image(filename='example.png', embed=True)
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried doing it this way in Google Colab:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from IPython.display import Image
  Image('example.png')
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It runs and nothing shows up. </p>
  
  <p>I have read that this way is also possible:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>putting your image in /usr/local/share/jupyter/nbextensions/google.colab/</p></li>
  <li><pre><code>&lt;img src='/nbextensions/google.colab/image.png' /&gt; ```
  </code></pre></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I don't really understand this last way of doing it. Like is that first step a directory in my computer (I have tried looking for it and it is not there)? </p>
  
  <p>Is there a simpler way to approach this?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I realise now that directory is for LINUX operating systems. Any way I could do something equivalent in Windows (My computer operates Windows)</p>
