ASCIIFlow does keep models of drawn boxes, lines, and arrows. If you use the "resize/move boxes and lines" tool, you can adjust drawn objects.

- dmd 9y agoAh, so it does. Not especially well, but it does. My mistake!
- bootywizard 9y agoAuthor here - it does but it doesn't, which is why it doesn't always work so well. It never actually keeps track of the shapes in a seperate data model - the text itself is the only data model. When you resize, it retraces out the lines that need editing. I did this as the expected use case is for diagrams in code, where diagrams may be copy pasted in and out of the tool and I'd lose any underlying models that I was working with.

- foochick 9y agoGrateful user here. I've relied on ASCIIFlow for all the diagrams in my Internet drafts since IETF 88. Truly an essential tool in my arsenal.
