+Integrations with other tools
+================================
+
+kitty provides extremely powerful interfaces such as :doc:`remote-control` and
+:doc:`kittens/custom` and :doc:`kittens/icat`
+that allow it to be integrated with other tools seamlessly.
+
+
+Image and document viewers

+
+Powered by kitty's :doc:`graphics-protocol` there exist many tools for viewing
+images and other types of documents directly in your terminal, even over SSH.
+

+    a terminal PDF/DJVU/CBR viewer
+
+`ranger <https://github.com/ranger/ranger>`_
+    a terminal file manager, with previews of file contents powered by kitty's graphics protocol.
+
+`nnn <https://github.com/jarun/nnn/>`_
+    another terminal file manager, with previews of file contents powered by kitty's graphics protocol.

+System and data visualisation tools
+---------------------------------------
+
+`neofetch <https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch>`_
+    A command line system information tool that shows images using kitty's graphics protocol
+
+`gnuplot <http://www.gnuplot.info/>`_
+    a graphing and data visualization tool that can be made to display its
+    output in kitty with the following bash snippet::
+
+        function iplot {
+            cat <<EOF | gnuplot
+            set terminal pngcairo enhanced font 'Fira Sans,10'
+            set autoscale
+            set samples 1000
+            set output '|kitty +kitten icat --stdin yes'
+            set object 1 rectangle from screen 0,0 to screen 1,1 fillcolor rgb"#fdf6e3" behind
+            plot $@
+            set output '/dev/null'
+            EOF
