- cpayne 13y agoIt's a clever tool for creating Ascii art. Not for everyone, but if you've ever tried to create boxes and lines in ascii, this is a tool that makes that so much easier . This is something I might use in source code to describe / draw the relationship between elements.
- pmr_ 13y agoI do a lot of geometry related programming and the ability to add some graphic illustrations directly into the source code comes in handy every now and then. Also, everybody needs a small ascii graphic in the output from time to time. EDIT: Language.
