#3It is also possible to use kitty or other graphics capable terminal (iTerm2, mlterm etc) to show regular images inline when plotting from ipython3 or jupyter console (some extensions need to be installed).

Ironically, the new one is called “Windows Terminal”.

#8R has something similar, it's called textplot.

One possible use case is you run a CLI monitor app (stock, website traffic, etc.) and you need simple plots in it .
