Support trapezoid / mux shapes for ascii diagrams
trafficstars
The following shapes are really useful in logic diagrams;
|\
| |
| |
|/
+--\
| |
| |
+--/
The simplest implementation would be just to do a box with different styles for the corners.
More advanced would be to actually do the one side as an angle like the following;
|\
| \
| |
| /
|/
+-\
| \
| |
| /
+-/
+--\
| \
| |
| /
+--/
This is an example diagram that I ended up doing with these style of shapes;
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| +------------+ |
ia1|------>|i1 | |
| | childa o|-+------------------------------------------->|o0
ia2|-->|\ | | | |
| ||->|i2 | | |
ia3|-->|/ +------------+ | +----------+ |
| +->|i childb o|-+-->|\ |
| | +----------+ | || +----------+ |
| | | ||-->|i childc o|-->|\ |
| +------------------>|| +----------+ || |
| | | |/ || |
| | | /-------->||-->|o1
| | \-------------/ || |
| | || |
| \-------------------------------------->|/ |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
I think custom shapes in general would be a cool feature to have. I need to think about how it would work, though. Might consider this for AF3.
