Crate icy_sixel 

icy_sixel

A 100% Rust SIXEL library for encoding and decoding SIXEL graphics.

Features

• Decoder: High-performance SIXEL decoder with SIMD optimization (SSE2)
• Encoder: High-quality SIXEL encoder using quantette for color quantization

Quick Start

Encoding an image to SIXEL

use icy_sixel::SixelImage;

// RGBA image data (4 bytes per pixel)
let rgba = vec![255u8, 0, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 255]; // 2 red and green pixels
let image = SixelImage::from_rgba(rgba, 2, 1);
let sixel = image.encode()?;
print!("{}", sixel);

Decoding SIXEL to image data

use icy_sixel::SixelImage;

let sixel_data = b"\x1bPq#0;2;100;0;0#0~-\x1b\\";
let image = SixelImage::decode(sixel_data)?;
// image.pixels contains RGBA pixel data (4 bytes per pixel)
println!("{}x{}", image.width, image.height);
