#lsix allow to display #pictures in #Sixel format locally or remotely via #ssh in a #xterm or #terminal fully compatible with VT340 But it also convert lot of pictures and animation format.

Sixel or DEC SIXEL is a technology developed by DEC to display pictures in their terminal and printers. One more fun, beside ReGIS terminal vector format :)

Below is an example, by displaying, an AVIF, a pure vector SVG, and a SVG containing an AVIF picture.

AVIF is now a very well supported picture format. the last two largely used libs to not support AVIF today are #LibRSVG librsvg (for embedded avif) and #Pillow Pillow (patch pending since 2021). This pose issues with several applications and libs depending on them:
* gqview, firefox & epiphany (3 for SVG embeding AVIF, gqview also have some problems to display some AVIF, where they are well displayed in Firefox, Inkscape, etc).

libQt6svg support pefectly SVG embedding AVIF. Inkscape has mid support (it can open/save SVG containing AVIF, but transform them to PNG, if they are imported inside a document.

If your terminal is not powerful enough to display sixil pictures, simply launch an xterm the following way: xterm -ti vt340 &

libsixel

#TIL about #lsix (https://github.com/hackerb9/lsix) and calling #xterm with the option "-ti vt340" to be able to display inline images inside an xterm—thanks to lsix having just arrived in #DebianUnstable: https://packages.debian.org/sid/lsix

These inline images (or the backend used to display them) seem to be called #sixel graphics. And they're said to work transparently through SSH. Maybe better than #chafa or #catimg.

#BloomScrolling on the terminal! 😉
