Terminal features: MSLP command links and pictures in a figure's cells - #45
Conversation
AnsiOutputOptions describes one client: colour depth, TerminalFeatures (Hyperlinks, CommandLinks, KittyGraphics, InlineImages, Sixel, BlockArt) and an ITerminalPictureSource for pixels. A Figure laid out under LayoutContext.Pictures marks each row of its cells with PictureCellsMarkup; the ANSI emitter draws the picture there or leaves the art.

WalkthroughANSI output now supports configurable links and picture protocols. Figure layout can reserve cells for images, and ANSI emission can render supplied pixels as Kitty graphics, inline images, Sixel, or block art. ChangesANSI terminal features and pictures

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A host that passes a zero cell size, as terminals report when the size is unknown, can crash ANSI output for that connection when Sixel is used. Colourless clients with BlockArt see meaningless blocks in place of the figure's art. Validate the cell sizes before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Encodings (Kitty transmission, iTerm2 PNG, sixel, half-block rows) are kept with the TerminalPicture, so every connection shown a picture at a size gets a copy. Kitty now sends a PNG (f=100); PNGs are RGB when opaque, filtered Up, at zlib level 2. Sixel reads each band once and writes a colour only over the columns it reaches, with P2=0 for an opaque picture. Half blocks scale the picture once rather than once per row. Large payloads go straight to the output instead of through the run's buffers. On a 512x384 picture in 60x23 cells: Kitty 25 ms -> 16 ms to encode and 777 -> 423 KiB on the wire, 1.2 ms for each later connection; iTerm2 25 -> 13 ms; sixel 20 -> 7 ms; half blocks 14 -> 3 ms.

- Around line 16-20: Update the CellWidth and CellHeight init accessors in
AnsiOutputOptions to reject zero and negative values when options are built,

approach in PictureCells.Fit where appropriate.

- Line 32: Update the `_pictureMethod` initializer to treat
`TerminalFeatures.BlockArt` as unavailable when `options.ColorDepth` is
`AnsiColorDepth.Attributes` or `AnsiColorDepth.None`; pass the remaining
features to `TerminalPictureWriter.Method` and preserve the existing behavior
for other color depths and when `options.Pictures` is null.

…t art A terminal that does not know its cell size reports 0, and a sixel at width 0 divided by zero. Half blocks at Attributes or None depth lost every colour and were a grid of identical blocks.

Requested by Grave · project thread
Before: the only switch for a terminal was
hyperlinks(OSC 8 on or off). A command link was always plain text, and aFigurewas always its text art.After:
AnsiOutputOptionsdescribes one client: colour depth,TerminalFeatures, and anITerminalPictureSourcethat supplies pixels. With it:CommandLinkswrites command links as MSLP (ESC]68;1;SEND;cmd BEL+ underlined text).Figurelaid out underLayoutContext.Picturesreserves its picture's cells and marks each row withPictureCellsMarkupover the art. The ANSI emitter draws the picture there:KittyGraphics: Unicode placeholders (U+10EEEE with row/column diacritics, id as a truecolor foreground). The picture is sent once per connection witha=T,U=1,q=2, as zlib RGBA in 4096-byte chunks.InlineImages(iTerm2) andSixel: the cursor makes room below withESC D, the picture is drawn betweenESC 7/ESC 8, and each row steps over its cells withCSI n C, so no text is written over the picture.BlockArt:▀/▄half blocks at the client's colour depth.The rows are the same width whichever way they're drawn, so a box or flex row round the figure stays aligned (there is a test for this).
How: the picture writers live in
TerminalPictureWriter, with a small PNG encoder (for iTerm2), a 216-colour sixel encoder and an area-averaging scaler. The package still does no I/O: fetching and decoding a file is the host's job. All additions are additive. The(depth, hyperlinks)overloads stay, mapped onto the new options, so package validation against 2.11.1 passes.Tests:
TerminalFeatureTests(18) covering links, layout marking, Kitty chunking/ids/placeholders/once-only sending, iTerm2 PNG validity, sixel size and bands, half blocks, and alignment. The full suite passes locally (1049).SharpMUSH wires this up per connection in a follow-up PR; TelnetNegotiationCore#142 adds the terminal probe it uses.
