#XTerm supports this, but it needs a little nudging to enable:

> xterm -rv -ti vt340

Observe:

A screenshot of an XTerm window, displaying the command "img2sixel -p 16 this_is_fine_1.jpg" followed by a graphical image showing the "This is Fine" meme.

👉 Did you know?

You can display actual #bitmap #images on the actual #console in selected #terminal emulators.

Terminals which support this include #MLTerm, #FootTerminal and #XTerm (after configuration). Support in #GnomeTerminal and other #VTE-based terminals is underway.
