Have you considered graphviz? Here is graph.dot for your example.
digraph g {
rankdir=LR
X -> Y [label=A]
Y -> X [label=B]
Y -> Z [label=C]
Z -> Y [label=D]
}
EOF
And a makefile that renders an eps using dot (from graphviz) and ASCII
art (using graph-easy).
graph := graph.dot
outputs := eps txt
.PHONY: all
all \
: $(addprefix $(graph:dot=),$(outputs))
$(graph:dot=eps) \
: $(graph) \
; dot -T ps < $< > $@
$(graph:dot=txt) \
: $(graph) \
; graph-easy --as=ascii $< > $@
EOF
The generated EPS is attached (sorry if that is not customarily done.
It is small so I figured, what the heck.) Here is the ASCII
rendering.
