https://www.arewesixelyet.com/ Are We Sixel Yet? menu * Contribute * Contribute This site lists the support for the SIXEL graphics format across various terminal emulators. The SIXEL format allows the terminal to display bitmap graphics. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel for more information. SIXEL support for a terminal can be determined by running the lsix command. If SIXEL is not supported, then the message "Error: Your terminal does not report having sixel graphics support." is displayed.
