Sixel Experiments

Some fun experiments using the Sixel graphics standards.

Installation

First install the imgcat command in /usr/local/bin.

% sudo cp imgcat /usr/local/bin

Examples

All of the examples follow the same pattern, to install and run them follow these steps:

% yarn
% yarn build
% yarn --silent start

The --silent option simply removes the start and ending yarn logs about running the command and telling you how long it took to run.
