[HECnet] sixel graphics viewer

[Erik Olofsen]

With a little effort, I could write a tool to convert sixel to ppm...
Perhaps in C, so that it would work as a foreign command under VMS.
A plugin would be more difficult...

That's awesome!

I wonder if we could turn this into a SIXEL decoding plugin for websites somehow..

So you could have a whole bunch of SIXEL images on a website, an INDEX.HTML that imports this javascript and then displays the images?

Because I haven't found any utilities to convert images FROM   sixel to other formats, just one to convert netpbm -> sixel.

Hi Sampsa,

At http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/sg/sg.html

type

js> load('monkey.js')
js> display(s$)

It needs 'continue script' once or twice.

Hi all,

For those interested in Sixels, I ported the code (quick and dirty)
from ftp://ftp.cs.utk.edu/pub/shuford/terminal/all_about_sixels.txt
to Javascript and combined it with Flot and a JQuery terminal:

http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/sg/sg.html

You then get a Javascript terminal, with a display function; some examples:

js> example$
js> display(example$)
js> display(Array(5).join('CA at ACGOG'))
js> display('HECNET')

and

js> display(digital$)

Considering the run time to display the latter image, photos should
perhaps not be too detailed...


Cool - any change you could add my logo (B&W picture of angry monkey from Family Guy)?

That would totally make my day.
