I meant the API is mostly character based. I can insert images of
course, but I cannot draw random pixel lines across the buffer right?
There is no complete pixel-level control of buffer presentation. I
cannot toggle single pixels on the screen, if I'm not mistaken.
I haven't seen code collapsing displayed like this in emacs:

It can probably be emulated with images of course to an extent, but
it's not the same as simply drawing a vertical pixel line.
That's what I mean by a "graphical" editor.
Nevertheless, I use emacs. :)
