Gnuplot version 6.0.4 is available on Cygwin. The upstream release
notes for this bugfix / minor feature enhancement release are available
at:
http://www.gnuplot.info/ReleaseNotes_6_0_4.html
...
Some update of gnuplot changed the way Sixel graphics are produced on
the "sixel" terminal (e.g. mintty):
- An explicit cursor home sequence is injected before the actual Sixel
output, so the graphics are always placed in the top-left corner rather
than inline at the cursor position which is much more useful.
- The graphics pixel size is constant, not adapted to the terminal size.
- The graphics background is forced to white; it used to be possible to
generate transparent output on the terminal background.
- The font has changed.
See the screenshot on Mintty — Cygwin Terminal emulator
<https://mintty.github.io/> to compare, made 5 years ago.
Are these upstream changes or patches in the cygwin package?
Is there any way to configure the mentioned aspects?
