Useful 4 many case scenarios:

  • GUI viewer (X11 or Wayland): nsxiv, imv, feh, imagemagick's display, etc
  • Terminal emulator (ANSI colored blocks, ASCII): aalib, libcaca, viu, chafa, timg, etc. Some work in TTY. Some use terminal features like: Sixel, or has own solutions like: Kitty, Iterm. It could be possible to open image in a new multiplexer (tmux, screen) tab/window|pane.
  • TTY: Framebuffer viewers (near GUI viewers with pure terminal): fim, fbi, fbvis, jfbview, etc.

Can be done with:

  • Shell Variable like nnn.
  • CLI option parameter.
  • Config or ini file inside ~/.config folder.

The U-ROOT project has a framebuffer library capable of displaying images. I'd really like to have such a feature within reader. https://github.com/u-root/u-root/blob/main/pkg/fb/fb.go
There's also the fbsplash program that u-root has if you need a reference on how to use the library.
