I think it is about as fast as possible, but it might be more memory efficient. On my machine with firefox, the images are drawn about instantly.

I wonder if we could turn this into a SIXEL decoding plugin for websites somehow.. So you could have a whole bunch of SIXEL images on a website, an INDEX.HTML that imports this javascript and then displays the images? Because I haven't found any utilities to convert images FROM sixel to other formats, just one to convert netpbm -> sixel. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +358 40 7208932 On 9 Oct 2013, at 19:28, Erik Olofsen <e.olofsen at xs4all.nl> wrote: Hi Sampsa, At http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/sg/sg.html type js> load('monkey.js') js> display(s$) It needs 'continue script' once or twice. :) Erik On Tue, Oct 08, 2013 at 04:06:36PM +0200, Sampsa Laine wrote: On 8 Oct 2013, at 16:03, Erik Olofsen <e.olofsen at xs4all.nl> wrote: Hi all, For those interested in Sixels, I ported the code (quick and dirty) from ftp://ftp.cs.utk.edu/pub/shuford/terminal/all_about_sixels.txt to Javascript and combined it with Flot and a JQuery terminal: http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/sg/sg.html You then get a Javascript terminal, with a display function; some examples: js> example$ js> display(example$) js> display(Array(5).join('CA at ACGOG')) js> display('HECNET') and js> display(digital$) Considering the run time to display the latter image, photos should perhaps not be too detailed... Cool - any change you could add my logo (B&W picture of angry monkey from Family Guy)? That would totally make my day.
