Do you like the terminal? Do you like diagramming? Wish you could make simple diagrams in your favorite terminal editor? Well come on down. Have I got a utility for you. It the TermPaint utility by yours truly.

Seriously though, it’s useful enough if you’re trying to do some simple shapes or tables in a markdown document. More features to come as I need them, or I get an itch to do it.

have you checked out [diagon](https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/Diagon#download-packages)? It’s good for drawing diagrams, math and flowcharts but doesn’t do it using primitives the same way your program does.  
Here is an example using diagon GraphPlanar

**input**

```None
a -- b
b -> c
a -> c
b -- f
f -> c
c -> a 
c -> g
g -- b

```

**output**

```None
┌───┐      
│ a │      
└△─┬┘      
 │┌┴─────┐ 
 ││ b │ 
 │└┬─┬──┬┘ 
 │┌┴┐│ │  
 ││f││ │  
 │└┬┘│ │  
 │ │┌┴─┐│  
 │ ││g ││  
 │ │└△─┘│  
┌┴─▽─┴──▽─┐
│ c │
└─────────┘

I have, and honestly I’d probably use it when I need something one of their generators covers. If I’m doing a UML diagram, a couple get close but the systemic generation of it doesn’t make it easier to read.

In your example, I’d want A triple tall and to the left of B and C. And I’d want F and G to be the same size and side by side.
