+This package provides encoder/decoder implementation for DEC SIXEL
+graphics, and some converter programs.
+
+SIXEL is one of image formats for printer and terminal imaging
+introduced by Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC). Its data scheme is
+represented as a terminal-friendly escape sequence. So if you want
+to view a SIXEL image file, all you have to do is "cat" it to your
+terminal.
+
+mlterm is recommended for good SIXEL support.
