Terminal Graphics Protocol issues

[nickkaltner]

Hi,
Firstly i'd like to say how much i love ghostty :) thank you.

I've been trying to work out how i can use the terminal graphics protocol for animations. Ghostty is said to support it here https://ghostty.org/docs/about#feature-rich

Along my journey, i've found a set of control sequences which work in kitty but not in ghostty.

out.txt

If you cat the attached file, in kitty you get an animated pie chart like

In ghostty you get a green square

to help explain what i'm doing in the file, first i load a green square into image_id 1200
i load it in chunks with
"\u{1b}_Ga=t,q=2,f=32,i={},s={},v={},m=1;{}\u{1b}\" for the first chunk
"\u{1b}_Gm=1;{}\u{1b}\" for the next chunks
and
"\u{1b}_Gm=0;{}\u{1b}\" for the last chunk.

that seems to work.

then i load 3 animation frames, with approximately the same method, just using
"\u{1b}_Ga=f,q=2,f=32,i={},r={},s={},v={},m=1,X=1,z=250;{}\u{1b}\"
"\u{1b}_Ga=f,m=1;{}\u{1b}\"
and finally
"\u{1b}_Ga=f,m=0;{}\u{1b}\"

finally i tell the terminal to loop that animation with
"\u{1b}_Ga=a,i={},s=3\u{1b}\"

regards,
Nick

Ghostty doesn't support animation frames. I don't think we clearly document our full feature support for the Kitty graphics protocol anywhere but that is a current limitation.
