Raster Image Views

ImageView displays Color[,] pixel buffers. With UseRasterGraphics enabled, it prefers Kitty graphics, falls back to Sixel, and uses cell rendering when no raster protocol is available. Use UseRasterGraphics and IsUsingRasterGraphics for new code; UseSixel and IsUsingSixel remain obsolete compatibility shims.
