           OCaml programs to display images in terminals that support the protocol

     

       5
        
           (Kitty, WezTerm, Konsole, Ghostty, etc.).

       +
       

     

       9
       +
           The Kitty Graphics Protocol is a flexible, performant protocol for rendering

     

       10
       +
           arbitrary pixel (raster) graphics in terminal emulators. Key features:

     

       11
       +
       

     

       12
       +
           - No requirement for terminal emulators to understand image formats

     

       13
       +
           - Pixel-level positioning of graphics

     

       14
       +
           - Integration with text (graphics can be drawn below/above text with alpha blending)

     

       15
       +
           - Automatic scrolling with text

     

       16
       +
           - Animation support with frame deltas for efficiency

     

       17
       +
       

     

       18
       +
           {2 Escape Sequence Format}

     

       19
       +
       

     

       20
       +
           All graphics commands use the Application Programming Command (APC) format:

     

       21
       +
       

     

       22
       +
           {v <ESC>_G<control data>;<payload><ESC>\ v}

     

       23
       +
       

     

       24
       +
           Where:

     

       25
       +
           - [ESC _G] is the APC start sequence (bytes 0x1B 0x5F 0x47)

     

       26
       +
           - Control data is comma-separated key=value pairs

     

       27
       +
           - Payload is base64-encoded binary data (RFC-4648)

     

       28
       +
           - [ESC] is the APC terminator (bytes 0x1B 0x5C)

     

       29
       +
       

     

       30
       +
           Most terminal emulators ignore unrecognized APC sequences, making the

     

       31
       +
           protocol safe to use even in unsupported terminals.

     

       32
       +
       

     

       33
       +
           {2 Terminal Responses}

     

       34
       +
       

     

       35
       +
           When an image ID is specified, the terminal responds:

     

       36
       +
           - On success: [ESC _Gi=ID;OK ESC]

     

       37
       +
           - On failure: [ESC _Gi=ID;error ESC]

     

       38
       +
       

     

       39
       +
           Common error codes include [ENOENT] (image not found), [EINVAL] (invalid

     

       40
       +
           parameter), and [ENOSPC] (storage quota exceeded).

     

       41
       +
       

     

       42
       +
           {2 Image Storage}

     

       43
       +
       

     

       44
       +
           Terminal emulators maintain a storage quota for images (typically ~320MB).

     

       45
       +
           When the quota is exceeded, older images are deleted to make room for new

     

       46
       +
           ones. Images without active placements are preferred for deletion.

     

       47
       +
       

     

       48
       +
           For animations, frame data is stored separately with a larger quota

     

       49
       +
           (typically 5x the base quota).

       +
       

     

       15
       +
           The protocol supports two animation approaches:

     

       16
       +
       

     

       17
       +
           {b Terminal-driven animation}: The terminal automatically advances

     

       18
       +
           frames based on the gap (delay) specified for each frame. Use

     

       19
       +
           [{`Run}] or [{`Loading}] states.

     

       20
       +
       

     

       21
       +
           {b Client-driven animation}: The client manually sets the current

     

       22
       +
           frame using [Kgp.Animation.set_current_frame]. Use [{`Stop}] state

     

       23
       +
           to prevent automatic advancement.

     

       24
       +
       

     

       25
       +
           {2 Stop State}

     

       26
       +
       

     

       27
       +
           [{`Stop}] halts automatic frame advancement. The animation freezes

     

       28
       +
           on the current frame. Use this when:

     

       29
       +
           - Implementing client-driven animation

     

       30
       +

       +
       

     

       35
       +
           [{`Loading}] runs the animation but waits for new frames when reaching

     

       36
       +
           the end instead of looping. Use this when:

     

       37
       +
           - Streaming animation frames progressively

           By default ([{`Move}]), after displaying an image the cursor advances:

     

       16
       +
           - Right by the number of columns the image occupies

       19

           This matches how the cursor moves after printing text, allowing images

           Animations are created by:

     

       10
       +
           1. Transmitting a base image (becomes frame 1)

     

       11
       +
           2. Adding frames using the frame action ([a=f])

     

       12
       +
           3. Controlling playback with animation commands

     

       13
       +
       

     

       14
       +
           Frame numbers are 1-based:

     

       15
       +
           - Frame 1: The original/base image

     

       16

       +
       

     

       20
       +
           For partial frame updates, [x] and [y] specify where the new pixel

     

       21
       +
           data is placed within the frame canvas:

     

       22
       +
           - [x]: Left edge position in pixels (default 0)

     

       23
       +
           - [y]: Top edge position in pixels (default 0)

     

       24
       +
       

     

       25
       +
           The frame data dimensions come from the [width] and [height] parameters

     

       26
       +
           of the frame command.

       34
       +
           Default is 0 (transparent black).

       38

           Instead of creating a new frame, you can edit an existing one:

     

       43

           - Set [edit_frame] to the 1-based frame number

     

       44

           - The frame itself becomes the canvas

     

       45

           - New data is composited onto it

       +
       

     

       8
       +
           When displaying an image, the protocol allows specifying:

     

       9
       +
           - Which part of the source image to display (source rectangle)

     

       10
       +
           - Where to display it (cell position and pixel offsets)

     

       11
       +
           - How large to display it (scaling to cell dimensions)

     

       12
       +
           - How it layers with other content (z-index)

     

       13
       +
           - Whether it can be referenced via Unicode placeholders

     

       14
       +
       

     

       15
       +
           {2 Source Rectangle}

     

       16
       +
       

     

       17
       +
           The source rectangle specifies which portion of the image to display:

     

       18
       +
           - [source_x], [source_y]: Top-left corner in pixels (default: 0, 0)

     

       19
       +
           - [source_width], [source_height]: Size in pixels (default: full image)

     

       20
       +
       

     

       21
       +
           The displayed area is the intersection of this rectangle with the

     

       22
       +
           actual image bounds. This allows cropping images without modifying

     

       23
       +
           the original data.

     

       24
       +
       

     

       25
       +
           {2 Cell-Based Sizing}

     

       26
       +
       

     

       27
       +
           Images are sized in terminal cells:

     

       28
       +
           - [columns]: Number of columns to span (width in cells)

     

       29
       +
           - [rows]: Number of rows to span (height in cells)

     

       30
       +
       

     

       31
       +
           If both are specified, the source rectangle is scaled to fit.

     

       32
       +
           If only one is specified, the other is computed to maintain aspect ratio.

     

       33
       +
           If neither is specified, the image is displayed at natural size.

     

       34
        
       

     

       35
       +
           {2 Pixel Offsets}

     

       36
       +
       

     

       37
       +
           Fine-grained positioning within the starting cell:

     

       38
       +
           - [cell_x_offset]: Horizontal offset in pixels from cell left edge

     

       39
       +
           - [cell_y_offset]: Vertical offset in pixels from cell top edge

     

       40
       +
       

     

       41
       +
           These offsets must be smaller than the cell dimensions.

     

       42
       +
       

     

       43
       +
           {2 Z-Index Layering}

     

       44
       +
       

     

       45
       +
           The [z_index] controls vertical stacking:

     

       46
       +
           - Positive values: drawn above text

     

       47
       +
           - Zero: drawn at text level

     

       48
       +
           - Negative values: drawn below text

     

       49
       +
           - Values < INT32_MIN/2 (-1,073,741,824): drawn under cells with

     

       50
       +
             non-default background colors

     

       51
       +
       

     

       52
       +
           Overlapping images with the same z-index are ordered by image ID

     

       53
       +
           (lower ID draws first/underneath).

     

       54

           - [t=d] for direct (inline) transmission (default)

           [{`Direct}] sends data inline within the escape sequence itself. The data

     

       15

           is base64-encoded in the payload section. This is the simplest method and
