It has two floors and then several extension platforms which are reachable by ropes. Here are some photos [1] - the "new-deck" was completed only one week ago or something :) Anyway, I'd like to make a drawing of it. Any idea what software might be used? Can Emacs do this? Or can you input the data in an Emacs buffer, and have it compile into an image using some 3rd-hand software? Optimally I'd like to just measure everything, then input the data - perhaps as geometrical figures? (e.g., a tree could be a circle, I input the diameter and relative position...) and then the programs compiles and produce the image ... good idea, right? Last time I asked this, several years ago and regarding another project, someone said org-mode can do this. I never used it, so are there some starters? I know org-mode can do state diagrams and all computer things, but can you have it draw arbitrary figures? If so, how?
