Description
Terminal and graphics software can encode or decode DEC SIXEL images for terminals that support inline graphics.
This library is useful for applications that need to show images in a terminal, convert bitmap data to SIXEL, or read SIXEL output from other tools. It does not create a separate image viewer by itself; programs use it as a graphics codec.
Install it when terminal image features, converters, or other packages depend on libsixel. Rendering support still depends on the terminal emulator being used.
