Re: How to improve an ascii diagram.

Re: How to improve an ascii diagram.

Thank you!... that's nifty!

I used only spaces.

The you are here will be deleted. It's intended for people not in
the building. An additional diagram in ascii would help people
get a more clear idea of the organization of our library.
There are circumstances where ascii is preferred.

A smaller diagram with legend is a good thing along with the
labelled diagram. Both can be made available.

The pdf is at http://cambridgema.gov/cpl/hours/newlibmap.pdf
Here's an online viewer for the pdf http://view.samurajdata.se/

Please send along more critique! Here's another draft of the
labelled one...
