The other day, I wrote about line drawing tools in Emacs. For those who like interactive systems, I mentioned ditaa, which takes an ASCII art diagram and turns it into a pretty PNG file. AKIYAMA Kouhei (misohena) has a project that offers a true visual drawing tool that runs in Emacs. Here’s a demonstration.

I haven’t tried it out yet but it looks pretty nice. The project is called el-easydraw. It’s not on MELPA and misohena doesn’t say whether he plans to add it but all the code is available on GitHub.
If you’re looking for a visual drawing tool for Emacs this is something you should definitely take a look at. It’s still early days for the project so it will be interesting to see how it evolves.
