Is there a graph/diagram editing tool that can output (or even better also parse) pseudographics, that can be easily inserted into source code comments? Like this:

+---------------+            
|  Some Class   |            +---------------+
|  ----------   |----------->| Another Class |
| @its_attribute|            +---------------+
| @another_attr |           / 
+---------------+  --------/
        |         /
        |        /
+---------------+
|Something Else |
+---------------+

Isn't it better to use well-known software to create visual UML diagrams? Compared to them, ASCII-painted diagrams are so ugly! – MainMa Aug 5 '12 at 15:51
But you can put them right in the code where they will be very helpful. And it's beautiful :) – Alexey Aug 5 '12 at 15:56

These tools do what I want. Unfortunately they cannot parse their output. Anyway It's better then nothing. Thanks! – Alexey Aug 5 '12 at 15:55
