Actually this looks like a nice clean solution that is by default extensible in Python.
I think I'll start with SIXEL and add ReGIS later.

How to paint any kind of graphics into Terminal.app windows are beyond me. But if you want
to play with soft fonts, or sixel graphis (or ReGIS), you need to intercept the incoming
byte stream to Terminal.app, and then interpret that stuff to pull out what you are
expected to display.

That was going to be my basic approach, write a little shim that looks for control chars
and if it sees ReGIS/SIXEL it draws a canvas, otherwise it passes it along to
Terminal.app..
Some guys did with PNGs and JPEGs in Python, this could be fun..
