To create a color image on a printer, a line of sixels is sent several times, each representing a single bitplane from the register-based colors on the terminals (normally 2 or 4 bits) Since the capabilities of the hardware vary widely, a color sixel drawing can only be output to targeted devices
- Using sixels in prompts (CMD, PowerShell, and Bash WSL)
This article shows how to embed sixels in string literals to include an image in the prompt in the Command Prompt (cmd exe), Windows PowerShell (5 x), and PowerShell (6 x and later, pka PS Core)
- XXIIVV — sixels
Sixel is a graphics format made of 64 patterns six pixels high and one wide An image is encoded by breaking up the bitmap into a series of 6-pixel high strips that is then converted into a single ASCII character, offset by 0x3f so that the first sixel is encoded as ?

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
- A plotting-in-terminal solution: sixels and mlterm
I haven't taken much notice of sixels in the past, and that's not surprising The sixel format is a venerable bitmap graphic format originally used to send image data to Digital Equipment Corporation printers, and later for bitmap image display on DEC monitors
- Windows Terminal Preview 1. 22 Release - Windows Command Line
To display Sixels in Windows Terminal, you will need a tool to encode sixels like libsixel or chafa For the sake of this blog, I will be using libsixel, which contains img2sixel
- Sixel protocol | Rio Terminal
Sixel, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format supported by terminals and printers from DEC It consists of a pattern six pixels high and one wide, resulting in 64 possible patterns Each possible pattern is assigned an ASCII character, making the sixels easy to transmit on 7-bit serial links
- VT330 VT340 Programmer Reference Manual: Chapter 14 - VT100
What are Sixels? The VT300 can send and receive sixel graphics data You can draw monochrome or color (VT340 only) images with sixel data A sixel is a group of six pixels in a vertical column A pixel (picture element) is the smallest displayable unit on a video screen Sixels represent bitmap data for a graphic image
