This is fricas2sixel V 1.0.1 :: (TeX Live)

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... TEXSTRING
Options are chosen to be similar to dvips' options where possible:

  -D #         Output resolution
  -O c         Image offset
  -T c         Image size (also accepts '-T bbox' and '-T tight')

  -bg s        Background color (TeX-style color or 'Transparent')
  -fg s        Foreground color (TeX-style color)

  -h | --help  Help

  # = number   s = string
  c = comma-separated dimension pair (e.g., 3.2in,-32.1cm)

  TEXSTRING is a LaTeX expression betweeen apostrophes (not quotes).
  Examples: '\$\alpha\$' | '\LaTeX' | 'This is math: \$x+y\$'.

Required applications: latex, dvipng, img2sixel.
Terminals supporting sixel graphics: xterm -ti vt340, mintty, mlterm.
