Awesome work. I have invited you to the JuliaTesting org. Follow all the good practices, try and make sure you don't commit code without at least 1 person other than the author having looked at it, etc. |

Continuation of #133
Appears to be working fine for me locally and the tests pass locally. I've changed the logic a bit so that we first check
is_sixel_supported, and if that givesfalsethen we checkBase.get_bool_env("REFERENCETESTS_FORCE_SIXEL", false)to see if the user is overriding it for e.g. tests.From @oxinabox's checklist #133 (comment):
Frames also listed
but I think this is unnecessary with my changes since I first check if
is_sixel_supportedand the environment variable is a fallback check.
