For now I'm categorising this (mentally, I mean) under "awesome, but idky useful".<p>I'd love to be told I'm wrong though. It's the best thing when you discover how to usefully use awesome but hitherto useless tools :p
Another example is US weather map:<p>$> a=$(curl -Ls "bit.ly/1OuRPDJ"); curl --data "$a" "tty.zone?cols=${COLUMNS}"
Impressive. I keep using bare xterm since it still supports Tektronix emulation (but, unfortunately, no Regis nor Sixel). This seems like a viable substitution for all three.
Haven't tried this. Just want to know -- what advantage does this give over using gnu plot with sixel output?<p>I can see the advantage over tek 4010 (this could be dynamic). If this is static (again, haven't tried yet), with multiple pages, why not just use tek 4010?<p>I also don't understand the admonish to use something other than xterm. What is the issue that was observed?<p>Ratboy
