If you're looking for real world examples then Google is your friend. There is a
program floating around that converts gifs to sixel graphics that can be displayed using
the soft character set on VT320 terminals.

Yup, I converted some GIFs using NETPBM to Sixel graphics.
I wish there was a Mac or Windows terminal emulator capable of showing them..
Did you checkout VTstar? That runs on Windows. Although I'm not sure of the latest
version it will work on. I believe it works with Vista. Here is the link anyway:
Sadly it doesn't work either. I'm tempted to write some kind of shim that would
capture ReGIS / Sixel escape sequences and draw them on Terminal.app.
The protocols are pretty simple.
