Original article says "I’m not doing this completely bare-knuckles. Emacs has tools like artist-mode that make it easier than manually positioning every character." See: https://youtu.be/cIuX87Xo8Fc?t=149 https://youtu.be/cIuX87Xo8Fc?t=149
- nine_k 6y agoThis is good, but again this is a solution like using a vector drawing program, only on a slightly weirder canvas. You still care about what your boxes look like, and fiddle with them. Graphviz removes this concern. You say "I want a chart with nodes connected like so", and `dot` provides just that.
