Revision history for Imager::File::SIXEL 1.000 2026-10-04 - First release. - Reads SIXEL images: 7-bit and 8-bit control strings, RGB and HLS colour definitions, raster attributes, transparent backgrounds, registers redefined while painting, several images per stream, and truncated data on request. - Writes SIXEL images with adaptive (histogram splitting refined by k-means), web-safe or caller supplied palettes, Floyd-Steinberg, ordered or no dithering, and transparency. - Encodes 640 x 480 frames in 3 to 16 milliseconds on a current desktop CPU, fast enough for animations at 60 frames per second, with output typically smaller than libsixel's for the same pixels.
