[Info-vax] I'm looking for samples of ReGIS and Sixel graphics.

One way to use ReGIS on a terminal or other device that supports it, would be from a program using VAX/DEC/HP GKS, a 2D graphics library available for VMS since way back (1980’s).
Complex or filled ReGIS graphics on serial terminals (e.g. VT340) will render very slowly, proportional to baud rate and limited by the terminal’s graphics processor (VT240 at 9600 being terribly slow as I recall.)
HP GKS can work with some Integrity VMS graphics hardware, most VMS Alpha graphics hardware, and X servers. (I don’t recall if it worked with VWS/UIS on, e.g., early pre-X VAXStations.)
