ditaa (link:http://ditaa.sourceforge.net[]) is a small command-line utility written in Java, that can convert diagrams drawn using ascii art (drawings that contain characters that resemble lines like | / - ), into proper bitmap graphics.
Using the AsciiDoc ditaa filter, ASCII line art can be embedded into AsciiDoc documents and processed as PNG bitmap graphics.
For example this ASCII text:
[listing] ..................................................................... +--------+ +-------+ +-------+ | | --+ ditaa +--> | | | Text | +-------+ |diagram| |Document| |!magic!| | | | {d}| | | | | +---+----+ +-------+ +-------+ : ^ | Lots of work | +-------------------------+ .....................................................................
