python-imgcat (via) I was investigating options for displaying images in a terminal window (for multi-modal logging output of LLM) and I found this neat Python library for displaying images using iTerm 2.

It includes a CLI tool, which means you can run it without installation using uvx like this:

uvx imgcat filename.png

Screenshot of an iTerm2 terminal window. I have run uvx imgcat output_4.png and an image is shown below that in the terminal of a slide from a FEMA deck about Tropical Storm Ian.
