How to display ndarray images inline during loop in IPython?

Question

The following code

%matplotlib inline

for i in range(0, 5):
    index = np.random.choice(len(dataset))
    print('index:', index)
    image = dataset[index, :, :]
    print('image shape:', np.shape(image))
    plt.imshow(image)

display five printouts and one single image at the end in jupyter notebook.

Is it possible, to display images on each loop iteration?

I was able to do this with image files with

for fullname in fullnames:
  print('fullname:', fullname)
  display(Image(filename=fullname))

Is it possible to do the same with ndarrays?

UPDATE

Writing

for i in range(0, 5):
   ...
   plt.figure()
   plt.imshow(image)

made it better, but not perfect. Images displayed in multiple, but all are AFTER the text.

Should be interleaved.

Answer 1

Try:

for i in range(0, 5):
   ...
   plt.figure()
   plt.imshow(image)
   plt.show()

Without plt.show() the figures are only rendered and displayed after the cell finishes being executed (i.e., exits the for loop). With plt.show() you force rendering after every iteration.
