Quick roundup of bitmap graphics availability in free/open-source terminal emulators
A great resource of corner case behavior for sixel is this collection based on a real VT340 terminal: https://github.com/hackerb9/vt340test

Monotty Desktopio - Text-based desktop environment inside your terminal
libsixel (and notcurses and chafa) can readily be used to display bitmaps on a screen. I wish I had seen sixel (and ReGIS and Tektronix) in action when they were new, on the original hardware. :) BTW if you haven't seen it yet hackerb9 has been working with a real VT340 to better understand what wasn't in the manuals.
