BufferedImage -> Sixel

To convert a BufferedImage to a sixel stream.

// Create the image codec
var codec = new BufferedImageCodec();

try (var in = Jsixel.class.getResourceAsStream("jsixel.png")) {
	// Load the image
	var bitmap = codec.load(Optional.of(ImageType.PNG), in);
	
	// Build a sixel encoder
	var enc = new Bitmap2SixelBuilder().
			fromBitmap(bitmap).
			build();
			
	// Write the converted buffer to your output stream
	conv.write(System.out);
}
