You don't like the thick line mode? No problem, there will be others:

Oh, you also want the second graph plotted into the same diagram? Here
you are:

Still worrying about accuracy? Well, with horizontal lines you can have
a resolution from up to 4 levels per character, for vertical lines it
only is about 1 or 2 (for the classic line style). As the only ascii
plotters I have seen yet have a resolution of 1 line per character, I am
pretty happy with the polts.
