Yes, @lib/vip/draw.l directly operates on the internal code and data structures of Vip, so it is not usable in another editor. But the algorithms itself surely could be ported to Emacs. > I'd like to be able to hook up viewing the ascii drawings outside of Vip. This is easy. As the "v" or ":w<cr>" commands create and then update a normal Vip buffer, you can do any other editing with it. For example, to view the ASCII drawing outside of Vip, just save it with ":w myfile<cr>". ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
