  Ueberzug aims to implement a general easy way to show images in terminal emulators in X11. (regardless of whether or not a terminal emulator supports it)

  Libraries:

  - bash

  - python3.5+

  Advantages to w3mimgdisplay:

  - no race conditions as a new window is created to display images

  - expose events will be processed, so images will be redrawn on switching workspaces

  - tmux (partly) supported

  - terminals without the WINDOWID environment variable are supported

  - chars are used as position - and size unit, so it's easier to place a image on the desired position
