github.com/srlehn/termimg: draw images in terminals
termimg (godoc) (test images) automatically chooses a drawing method that works best for the terminal (in most cases the current one). A Terminal capable of displaying sixel graphics is recommended but not required. Alternative display protocols (iTerm2, kitty, Terminology, DomTerm) or drawing directly into the window/background (X11, GDI+, urxvt) are used. Terminal multiplexers (tmux, screen, ...) are currently only being checked for, later positioning in the panes seems doable (tmux, not screen).
