My machines can't run python, i only get tracebacks all the time. I guess this is utf8, can youjust share the utf8 codes needed for that? i can extend rconscanvas for utf8 to support that to draw graph lines and other pixel-level images #lazy

@radare no need for python then - you can try bash version https://github.com/mydzor/bash-drawille

Yes, it is UTF8, you just need proper fonts installed (like for vim powerline too).

It is nice, but... really? Can we close it? I don't see why radare2 should support this.

XVilka commented 4 years ago

Because it gives better graphics in the console, and because SIXEL standard is not yet popular.

I understand the better graphics, it is cool, but r2 is not a graphics tool, it is not gimp, it is not adobe. You don't use it to see super cool graphics, otherwise I guess you are using the wrong tool.

This issue has been moved from radareorg/radare2 to radareorg/ideas as we are trying to clean our backlog and this issue has probably been created a long while ago. This is an effort to help contributors understand what are the actionable items they can work on, prioritize issues better and help users find active/duplicated issues more easily. If this is not an enhancement/improvement/general idea but a bug, feel free to ask for re-transfer to main repo. Thanks for your understanding and contribution with this issue.
