You're all most welcome.
Frankly, I'm not a graphics expert, and I'm busy with a couple of other
projects, so I'd welcome bug fixes & enhancements.
I'd love to make it so that it can generate small diagrams, each containing
a few related symbols, and generate maps/hyperlinks so you can click on a
symbol in a diagram and jump to the definition of that symbol.
And, as several people have pointed out, the layout isn't quite right, and
the text sometimes overflows the boxes.
