OK.  Thanks.  It looks as though Emacs’s built-in ‘artist-mode’ works
similarly, but when I tried it, it used ASCII characters instead of
graphic characters.  Either way, I was hoping that there was a tool that
allowed for descriptions of the diagram elements instead of a
keyboard/mouse WYSIWYG tool.  This would allow a user to describe the
diagram elements and connections and would then generate the diagram.
It doesn’t appear that anyone has yet written this tool for Emacs.  Or,
if it has been, it has not been adopted by Emacs users on this mailing
list.
