kittyimg is a Go library that allows to display images in terminal emulators implementing kitty's terminal graphics protocol.
A basic API (Fprint, Fprintln) allows to display an image (loaded with stdlib's image package) at the cursor position.
go get github.com/dolmen-go/kittyimg
A command-line tool (icat) is provided.
go install github.com/dolmen-go/kittyimg/cmd/icat
The Go Playground has support for displaying images with its own protocol (IMAGE: prefix followed by base64 image file data).
tycat: https://git.enlightenment.org/apps/terminology.git/tree/src/bin/tycat.c Similar tool, but for the Enlightenment Terminology app (which uses a different terminal protocol).
