Eduardo, thanks for the message, that looks interesting. I like the
style of the tree diagram that's printed. I see part of the program is
Maxima, part Lisp, part Lua. Can you say a little bit about how the
different parts fit together here?

One approach to getting diagrams generated by Maxima is to output
stuff in a format understood by Graphviz, and then use one of the
GraphViz programs (I know there's dot, I forget the others) to render
it. Dunno if it's possible to get ASCII art in the same form you
showed. I've worked with Maxima + GraphViz to visualize function call
graphs, it's not hard. I can sketch out that approach if you're
interested.

best,

Robert
