Draw online diagrams in ASCII

This application is meant to draw simple diagrams to use in code/documentation. Ever so often, when developing PHP code myself, I found myself wanting to insert into comments in the code a small diagram, depicting a part of a workflow, or a database-relationship scheme. To do this by hand, using 'ASCII-art', is a tedious and decidedly non-fun process. Then I remembered that Wordperfect 5.1 used to have a very useful feature that drew lines directly in your text, using ASCII-characters only. I thought: surely, something like this must exist online, to enable me to draw simple diagrams etc for code, or, for instance, Google Docs. But it seemed that no such program exists... That was the itch that drove me to program this myself.
So, this program does not let you draw beautifull drawings, but it will let you copy your diagrams directly into any PHP, ASP, whatever editor or in any online texteditor.

Saving the diagrams

This system does not have a special login-database-solution to save the diagrams.
It is however possible to copy the drawing to your clipboard using the past-icon. And, more importantly, you can past drawings back there! If you press the clipboard-icon at the bottom, the program will read that drawing back in the edit-area.
This way you can take an older drawing that you allready used (and saved!) in your code and re-edit it.

General help

• Click anywhere to place the cursor there.
• Use your cursor keys to move around.
• Just type to add text
• press the "draw"-button to move around and leave an line
• press the "erase"-button to move around and delete everything that you pass
• use the add/del- buttons to add/delete rows/columns
• the "?"-button you found already
• the "clipboard"-button will "export" your masterpiece to an textarea, where you can copy and paste it.
  If you paste something into the textarea, the application will draw it on the board upon closing the popup.
  Because of this, you can save diagrams in your code and paste them in case you need to change them!
