A recent post re. 'mouse drawing in xved' prompted this thought.
{ I don't use xved .}
Some nice schematic diagrams via ascii-graphics exist.
I've often wanted to do some.
I think this could be a suitable polog project.
Is linux ved 25/24 * 80 chars ?
Adding the mouse driver could be done (if it doesn't already exist)
after the basic feasibility is established - or even use keys.
I haven't been in poplog for a while: can one 'run' in one half-screen
and get the output in out.p in the 'observer half screen' ?
Can the 'out.p observer half screen' move the cursor up and back ?
The heuristic refinements to the different characters to use for the
various line slopes and transitions 'feel' very poplog-ish ?
My first tests would be to see it this is possible:
While holding down right-arrow, can 'other screen' show progress of:
"---------"
While holding down South-west-key can 'other screen' show progress of:
{ view with constant width font}
"\
\
\"
I imagine a 25*80 'pixel-array' initially.
Copying/moving blocks should be OK.
Comments ?
