Description: An 'R' interface to 'pikchr' (<https://pikchr.org>,
        pronounced "picture"), a 'PIC'-like markup language for
        creating diagrams within technical documentation. Originally
        developed by Brian Kernighan, 'PIC' has been adapted into
        'pikchr' by D. Richard Hipp, the creator of 'SQLite'. 'pikchr'
        is designed to be embedded in fenced code blocks of Markdown or
        other documentation markup languages, making it ideal for
        generating diagrams in text-based formats. This package allows
        R users to seamlessly integrate the descriptive syntax of
        'pikchr' for diagram creation directly within the 'R'
        environment.
