A simple header-only function to render images to terminal using the sixel protocol.

Requirements

This should compile using any standard-compliant C++20 compiler, using a command such as:

g++ -std=c++20 demo.cpp -o demo

To work, this requires a sixel-capable terminal, such as:

on Linux: wezterm, xterm, mlterm
on macOS: wezterm, iTerm2
on Windows: wezterm, minTTY, Windows Terminal (preview)

Usage

copy the terminal_graphics.h file into your project
include the file in the relevant code file
add rendering calls to your code
run in a sixel-capable terminal (see list above)

See the demo program for example usage. This produces the output shown in the screenshot below.
