ASCII graphics are still graphics, in they would be hard to read line by line in a single or double-row LED display for example. which is what many digital musical instruments were limited to for about 2 decades. 

if you make the jump to using ASCII as graphics theres definitely been some work done on dealing with n-dimensional node graphs

of course SCLang proves you dont need graphics to have a concise and readable graph description, along with some algorithmic sugar..
