Problem
The SIXEL format allows the terminal to display bitmap graphics. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel for more information.
Some programs use it, like Kitten: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/110117697614227266
I tested if it works and it seem not.
[davidak@gaming:~]$ snow run lsix
Error: Your terminal does not report having sixel graphics support.
Please use a sixel capable terminal, such as xterm -ti vt340, or
ask your terminal manufacturer to add sixel support.
You may test your terminal by viewing a single image, like so:
convert foo.jpg -geometry 800x480 sixel:-
If your terminal actually does support sixel, please file a bug
report at http://github.com/hackerb9/lsix/issues
Please mention device attribute codes: ^[[?65;1;9c
[davidak@gaming:~]$ snow run imagemagick -- convert '/home/davidak/Downloads/fdce9e0c0e9ef948.jpg' -geometry 800x480 sixel:-
Proposal
It might be a nice feature for some people. I do not miss it tho.
When done, add an entry to https://www.arewesixelyet.com/, so people know.
Upstream issues for vte:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2084
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/253
So you can just wait for upstream to implement it or help them.
