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
