[feature request] Allow to disable the rendering of images

[traxys]

It would be nice to have a command along the lines of Diagrams <toggle|enable|disable> [bufnr] that allows to disable the rendering of images for the current buffer.

My main use case for such a feature is having a wiki using wiki.vim, where I browse & edit my entries through neovim.
I'd like to have images when browsing, but when editing I would not care much for having the images rendered automatically, especially since it adds a bit of latency on changing modes.

Hey, can you try out this branch? https://github.com/3rd/diagram.nvim/tree/feature/toggle

The branch enables my use case!

I did not test it exhaustively, but did not see any issue with the use case I described, thanks for the quick implementation!

I find myself needing the same functionality.
Not all edits I do to diagrams are in insert mode (e.g., move some lines around, delete some parts), and not all normal-mode edits need to be regenerated.
As such, it would be nice to enable/disable rendering (i.e., have a toggle), when working on the diagrams.
Also, it would be great if there was an option to have the plugin start disabled to avoid document loading latency as mentioned by the original problem description - sometimes I just want to read/edit the text, and if I need the images I could press the button and wait for them.

I see that some implementation was made but it does not appear that it was merged, any chance that you could merge it?

Small bump here if you could merge this.

Ditto what the man above said.

P.s
I really like the functionality that this plugin brings, along with your image.nvim plugin.

I would love it if you were able to work with render-markdown or the obsidian to copy over the functionality.
