What did you search for, and what search keywords did you attempt to use?

Yeah, there's some unrelated stuff, but resources and references do 
seem to be available.


There's a pile of VT terminal documentation and tools referenced at the 
following site:

http://vt100.net


ReGIS and SIXEL support is primarily creature of the display terminal 
or terminal emulator involved; various models of DEC VT terminal offer 
support.  Emulator support is lacking, but see some of the above links. 
  Which is why you'll want to read the manuals for the more "recent" VT 
series terminals, and partcularly the programming-related manuals for 
these terminals.   As for emulators, donno which emulators support what 
graphics.   Some of the commercial emulators definitely do have support 
though, based on what else showed up in the above two DDG searches.

I'm sure there are previous discussions of SIXEL and ReGIS in the 
comp.os.vms newsgroup archives, as well.  Feel free to do a little 
searching based on these and other search terms and resources, too.
