Great news! Thanks to a lot of hard work from topcat001 (Anindya Mukherjee), the -portable version of tmux now has SIXEL support.
Why this is this cool? Well, it means images rendered directly into the terminal can now happen, via conversion to SIXEL where appropriate.
One such use-case is with #gnuplot.
As an example of both, see the screenshots I've attached here.
To enable this, you will need to pass a flag to configure:
./configure --enable-sixel
Please do give this a go. This isn't released yet, so if you want to try this, you must do so via git.
Note that you will need a compatible terminal to make use of this -- in my case, that's #xterm and as such, all I needed to do was add the following to my ~/.Xdefaults file:
XTerm.*.decTerminalID: vt340
XTerm.*.numColorRegisters: 256... and then run `xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults`
Enjoy!
