I just came across “sixel” which allows to show graphics in the terminal (while reading this GitHub - csdvrx/sixel-gnuplot: GNUplot with sixel support ) Unfortunately, gnome-terminal does not support this ( Bug 729204 – sixel support ), but xterm (run as xterm -ti vt340) does. In fact it does not t…

[image] t-bltg: Not all backends support this: :inline is specific to GR. By using ImageInTerminal, we first encode a png (a feature that all backends support now), encode it in sixels and display them in the terminal: this is a backend independent approach. Got it :+1: Error resolved: now …

Nice that you got it working: optional dependencies are a bit of a pain in julia (but they are being worked on: Support in code loading and precompilation for weak dependencies by KristofferC · Pull Request #47040 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub ).

using GR; inline("item", false) allows scroll back inline("") switches back to GUI NYI For Plots, launching of gksqt might be suppressed setting GKSwstype=nul before starting Julia. GKSTerm.app for macOS is still there: GKSwstype=quartz julia ...

[image] jheinen: For Plots, launching of gksqt might be suppressed setting GKSwstype=nul before starting Julia. That does the trick :+1:

Regarding sixel output, the gnuplot program and thus Gnuplot.jl and Gaston.jl support that output format. xterm can display sixel graphics if compiled with the appropriate flags ( --enable-sixel-graphics ). NOTE: Removed outdated libsixel information. Please see Plots in the terminal (with si…

[image] devel-chm: xterm can display sixel graphics As an alternative to xterm, wezterm is a modern terminal that supports sixel. It has a few rough edges but it’s in active development. kitty doesn’t support sixel, but there is GitHub - simonschoelly/KittyTerminalImages.jl: A package that al…

I just discovered a nice trick with sixel and gnuplot: in-terminal animations. The following code is from Gaston’s development branch (still not published), but should be easy to adapt to Gaston current or to Gnuplot.jl. Note the animate in the term definition. using Gaston Gaston.config.term = "s…

would be cleaner if it can be put at the upper right corner of the term :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Yeah – I wonder if Gnuplot’s developers would be open to feature requests, now that interest in sixel is increasing and more terminals support it.
