Description
In this era where TUIs are getting a revival, I wonder if ggsql can / could / should support hooking into the rendering to support output compact text plots suitable for display in terminals, ie compact unicode output using ansi escapes, braille and unicode drawing chars for monospaced terminal like output formats (render to a string).
For example ansi-escaped and colored output such as shown at https://incom-0.github.io/incplot/. There are many other text plot libraries out there I suppose, just mentioning https://github.com/InCom-0/incplot as one example.

Research direction
Start by reviewing ggsql's existing rendering path and how it could expose a string-producing output format. Read the linked incplot example for the proposed ANSI, braille, and Unicode terminal output. Done means the project has an agreed design and supports compact colored text plots rendered to a string.
