Looking for SIMPLE graphics Markdown language

2•morpheos137•1mo ago
Is there anything out there that enables users to drawn 2d graphics without having to learn to program or without having to use a CAD GUI?

Basically looking for a 2D scripting language like markdown but for graphics to generate blue prints.

Example of ideal functionality

-You can set drawing scale -set output scale -set origin -add, edit, primitive objects. -generate SVG, PS or PDF output.

Split screen drawing environment command window, preview/output window. Also CLI capable. Source of drawings is stored as text or JSON.
