I've used artist-mode with my tablet PC, which works surprisingly well. You can draw with the stylus and everything! For other ways to produce graphics from text (especially within Emacs), check out the examples in http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Publishing http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Publishing : ditaa, graphviz, plantuml... Cool stuff. =)

+1 for plantuml integration in org-mode. I have a university class teaching UML and it has been very helpful. To get the true plantuml "UML IDE" experience, have the exported png open in a window (in the emacs sense) side-by-side with the code. Enable 'auto-revert-mode' on the image so that whenever you eval it it gets refreshed. If you run into problems where the image shows up in binary mode after reverting just enable 'auto-image-file-mode' (keeps it in image-mode). You can also make it more "responsive" by setting the auto-revert-mode interval to something shorter (by default it checks every 5 seconds if the file has changed). I just defined a new 'fast-auto-revert-mode' function where it turns the mode on after let-ting the interval be 1 second, then added that as a hook for 'image-minor-mode-hook'.
