Add support to other types of graph visualization #21

Hi 👋

I think it would be great if there were other types of graph visualization other than a png image, e.g. ASCII:

            MyApp
           /     \
 Dependency A  Dependency C
           |
 Dependency B
           |
 Dependency D

There are tools out there that contain this algorithm (e.g. https://github.com/spandanb/asciitree), probably we can find one in Swift too, so it's not an algorithm we'd have to implement on our own.

This is useful because the image format is not always suitable for all display use cases.

Hey hey, I think that would be useful too! I don't have any capacity to look into it in the near future though 😞

All good! Let's leave this here so maybe someone can pick it up some day 😊 we can also gauge how many people are interested in this feature
