What plugins are there for editing ASCII charts in Vim or Eclipse?

Question

I remember seeing a plugin in some editor (I think, it was Vim or Eclipse) for editing text-based ASCII charts that look like so:

+-----------+               +-----------+
|  Class A  | ------------> |  Class B  |
+-----------+               +-----------+

Is anyone aware of such a plugin? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can search it on vim.org: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script_search_results.php?keywords=ascii&script_type=&order_by=rating&direction=descending&search=search

Most popular results:

• DrawIt!
• CharTab
• boxdraw

Answer 2

Probably the most functional plugin for simple ASCII drawing (straight lines, arrows, ellipses, rectangles, etc.) in Vim is DrawIt!. Another option (which may be outdated) could be sketch.vim. Both of them provide shortcuts for drawing at least arrows and boxes.
