- gh02t 12y agoThere are several that do it, this article mentions a few and shows how to do it in xterm. http://www.stenyak.com/archives/1208/trick-of-the-day-rendering-graphics-in-your-terminal/ http://www.stenyak.com/archives/1208/trick-of-the-day-render... Not mentioned in that article, there's also Terminology, which can display all sorts of dynamic media and things. https://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about/terminology https://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about/terminology
