INTRODUCTION DrawX makes ASCII-art drawing relatively easy. You can draw boxes and lines, and there is support for easily including special characters in your drawings. As well as supporting standard ASCII characters, it also supports a number of different line-drawing styles courtesy of the wider Unicode character set There are two (actually quite separate) drawing functions provided;- 1/ Box drawing - This allows quick drawing of arbitrary-sized boxes, filled with blank space 2/ Tracing - This allows you to move the cursor around and trace a path as you go. Support is provided for joining lines etc NOTE: This may well work for vim versions prior to 7 - I haven't tried it though Here is a (rather uninspiring) example. I know it doesn't display very well because it needs a fixed-width font, but it's better than nothing and should give you an idea...     ┌────────────┐       ╔════════════╗     │Here's a Box     │       ║Here's a Box     ║     └─────┬──────┘       ╚═════╤══════╝                  │                                  │                  ╰────────┬───────╯                                     │                    ╭╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┴╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╮                    ╎And another Box     ╎                    ╰╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╯                  ┏━━━━━┓                 ■┃◍   ◍┃■                  ┃ ═══ ┃                  ┗━━╦━━┛              ┌──┳━━━╩━━━┳──┐              │ ┌┨ ┏┅┅┅┓ ┠┐ │              │ │┃ ┗┅┅┅┛ ┃│ │              │ │┃ DrawX ┃│ │              │ │┃       ┃│ │              └─┘┃       ┃└─┘                 ┗┳━┳━┳━┳┛                  ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃                  ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃                  ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃                  ┗━┛ ┗━┛
