ppmtosixel
Convert a PPM image to DEC sixel format. More information: https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/ppmtosixel.html.
- Convert a PPM image to DEC sixel format:
ppmtosixel {{path/to/file.ppm}} > {{path/to/file.sixel}}
- Produce an uncompressed SIXEL file that is much slower to print:
ppmtosixel -raw {{path/to/file.ppm}} > {{path/to/file.sixel}}
- Add a left margin of 1.5 inches:
ppmtosixel -margin {{path/to/file.ppm}} > {{path/to/file.sixel}}
- Encode control codes in a more portable (although less space-efficient) way:
ppmtosixel -7bit {{path/to/file.ppm}} > {{path/to/file.sixel}}
