Well, if you wanted to use extended ASCII, you could use the double
vertical line (x'BA')   and the double horizontal line (x'CC').

I tried the following.

Thin lines:  . : -
Thick lines: _ | =

     .
    '|`
     |
 10 -|                                                ______

       0                                      1               t in sec
   (presence)

Might work... I don't know. Diddled it a bit to make it clearer, but I still
think it lacks clarity.

that's a good idea.. lemme see if i can get more out of it... it
doesn't need to be this diagram exactly it's just an example for what
a diagram of its kind may look like so it can be changed.. it just has
to be a main line and sub-lines

i think the main line is clearer now .. at least in fixedsys, lucida
console, courier new and especially in TI92plusPC (font that came with
my texas intruments 92plus calculator)
