Are there many editors which allow both text and graphics manipulation? I'm particularly curious about reasonable text editing features (e.g. vi) and graphics kept as structures (got to be a better way to say that - rectangles, circles can be moved, resized, deleted), ideally with text and graphics overlapping. I don't consider MACPAINT/DRAW to qualify - not enough structure to the text manipulation. TROFF/PIC doesn't qualify - too formal for interactive use (graphics should be drawn, not programmed). I've both an academic interest in this (although not enough to dig thru the journals this week) and a practical interest (I'd like to use a portable PC as a general scratchpad). Anything interesting out there? -David sdcsvax!telesoft!dar, dar@sdcsvax.(arpa,uucp,edu,com)
