 xterm patch #294 supports sixel graphics.

 Please add --enable-sixel-graphics option to the configure
 command-line for enabling sixel graphics.

Does this option do anything useful yet?  So far I haven't found out,
but then again I've heard of sixel graphics for the first time last
Saturday…

Cheers,
   Sven

It can paint a particular format of picture on the window;
there are few applications which create those pictures.

I've marked it experimental because it's still in development,
and have done only limited testing (valgrind while cat'ing test-images).

The netpbm package contains a converter which I used:

$ jpegtopnm foo.jpg | ppmquant 256 | ppmtosixel  foo.sixel

In mlterm, I can then simply view the image with cat foo.sixel, but
this did not work in xterm.

 I've marked it experimental because it's still in development,
 and have done only limited testing (valgrind while cat'ing test-images).

Could you please send such a test image?

Cheers,
   Sven

 The netpbm package contains a converter which I used:

hmm - in a quick check, I got a file which does not begin with an escape 
sequence.
In visible form:
 
\302\2200;0;8q1;1

 In mlterm, I can then simply view the image with cat foo.sixel, but
 this did not work in xterm.

xterm has to be running as a vt240 or whatever, set using the decTerminalID 
resource
or -ti command-line option.  Otherwise the control sequences are parsed but 
nothing
happens.

These are the images that Ross Combs provided; he said he had found them by 
googling
(I don't know where - all I found was mention of mlterm and tanasinn).

ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/SIXEL.tgz

The biplane one is defective - probably some test-case of Ross's.
The others all display with vt240 level.
