// elements of the T-A matrix describe transparency and annihilation at a
// per-cell basis, making up something of a state machine. when a sprixel
// plane is first created, the TAM is (meaninglessly) initialized to all
// zeroes (SPRIXCELL_OPAQUE). during the construction of the sprixel from
// an RGBA frame, OPAQUE entries are possibly marked MIXED or TRANSPARENT.
// subsequent sprixels blitted to the same plane will reuse the TAM, and
// retain any SPRIXCELL_ANNIHILATED entries, cutting them out of the
// sprixel.
//
// sixel can transition to ANNIHILATED via a no-op; kitty can transition
// to ANNIHILATED only by wiping the cell (removing it from the sprixel via
// all-0 alphas), deleting the bitmap, and displaying it once more. sixel
// bitmaps are removed by obliterating them with new output, while kitty
// bitmaps are removed by a fixed-length terminal escape. an important
// implication is that sixels cannot be progressively reduced by emitting
// progressively more transparent sixels atop one another--to remove a
// cell from a Sixel sprixel, it is necessary to print a glyph. the same
// goes for Kitty sprixels, but there we delete and rerender bitmaps
// in toto without glyph involvement.
//
// a glyph above an OPAQUE sprixel requires annihilating the underlying cell,
// and emitting the glyph only after annihilation is complete. a glyph below
// an OPAQUE sprixel should never be emitted (update the lastframe to
// contain it, but do not mark the cell damaged). should the sprixel be
// removed, the cell will be marked damaged, and the glyph will be updated.
//
// a glyph above a MIXED sprixcell requires the same process as one above an
// OPAQUE sprixcell. a glyph below a MIXED sprixcell can be emitted, but a
// Sixel-based sprixel must then be printed afresh. a Kitty-based sprixel
// needn't be touched in this case.
//
// a glyph above a TRANSPARENT sprixcell requires annihilating the underlying
// cell, but this is a special annihilation which never requires a wipe nor
// redisplay, just the O(1) state transition. a glyph below a TRANSPARENT
// sprixcell can be emitted with no change to the sprixcell. TRANSPARENT
// sprixcells move to ANNIHILATED_TRANS upon annihilation.
//
// a glyph above an ANNIHILATED sprixcell can be emitted with no change to
// the sprixcell. it does not make sense to emit a glyph below an ANNIHILATED
// sprixcell; if there is no longer a glyph above the sprixcell, the sprixcell
// must transition back to its original state (see below).
//
// rendering a new RGBA frame into the same sprixel plane can result in changes
// between OPAQUE, MIXED, and TRANSPARENT. an OPAQUE sprixcell which becomes
// TRANSPARENT or MIXED upon rendering a new RGBA frame must damage its cell,
// since the glyph underneath might have changed without being emitted. the
// new glyph must be emitted prior to redisplay of the sprixel.
//
// an ANNIHILATED sprixcell with no glyph above it must be restored to its
// original form (from the most recent RGBA frame). this requires the original
// pixel data. for Sixel, we must keep the palette indices in an auxiliary
// vector, hung off the TAM, updated each time we convert an RGBA frame into a
// partially- or wholly-ANNIHILATED sprixel. for Kitty, we must keep the
// original alpha values. the new state can be solved from this data. if the
// new state is either OPAQUE or MIXED, the sprixel must be redisplayed. if the
// new state is TRANSPARENT, this cell requires no such redisplay, and the
// payload needn't be modified. to special-case this O(1) conversion, we keep a
// distinct state, ANNIHILATED_TRANS. only a TRANSPARENT sprixcell can enter
// into this state.
//
// when a sprixel is removed from the rendering pile, in Sixel all cells it
// covered must be marked damaged, so that they are rendered, obliterating
// the bitmap. in Kitty the bitmap can simply be deleted, except for those
// cells which were SPRIXCELL_OPAQUE (they must be damaged).
//
// when a sprixel is moved, its TAM must be updated. OPAQUE, MIXED, and
// TRANSPARENT cells retain their entries. ANNIHILATED cells remain
// ANNIHILATED if their new absolute position corresponds to an ANNIHILATED
// cell; they otherwise transition back as outlined above. this is because
// ANNIHILATION is a property of those glyphs above us, while the other
// three are internal, intrinsic properties. for Sixel, all cells no longer
// covered must be damaged for rerendering, and the sprixel must subsequently
// be displayed at its new position. for Kitty, the sprixel must be deleted,
// and all cells no longer covered but which were previously under an OPAQUE
// cell must be damaged for rerendering (not to erase the bitmap, but because
// they might have changed without being emitted while obstructed by the
// sprixel). the sprixel should be displayed at its new position. using Kitty's
// bitmap movement is also acceptable, rather than a deletion and rerender.
// whichever method is used, it is necessary to recover any ANNIHILATED cells
// before moving or redisplaying the sprixel.
//
// all emissions take place at rasterization time. cell wiping happens at
// rendering time. cell reconstruction happens at rendering time (for
// ANNIHILATED cells which are no longer ANNIHILATED), or at blittime for
// a new RGBA frame.
