I like that you were thorough, but parsing version numbers like this is notoriously brittle. Also, while I make pipelines like that at the command line all the time, in a shell script I'd prefer to avoid forking quite so many processes. For example: $(identify -version | awk 'NR==1 { print $3 >= 7 }'.

Another problem is that for many years ImageMagick 7 had all the same executables as IM6 before deprecating convert. Will identify be deprecated someday? All we know for sure is that IM6 does not have magick and IM7 does.

echo -n $'\e\\' # Escape sequence to stop SIXEL.
stty echo # Reset terminal to show characters.
