I get the following error when trying to run niicat on a nifti file:

ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 2: TypeError: wrong type

I've installed niicat from source from the version in https://github.com/MIC-DKFZ/niicat/pull/8 as I got nibabel issues with pypi version.

From the stacktracie it seems that wrong datatype is passed to sixel when encoding figure?

My env: Python 3.11 matplotlib==3.7.1 matplotlib-inline==0.1.6 numpy==1.24.3 nibabel==5.1.0
