Are there many editors which allow both text and graphics manipulation?
I'm particularly curious about reasonable text editing features (e.g. vi)
and graphics kept as structures (got to be a better way to say that -
rectangles, circles can be moved, resized, deleted), ideally with text
and graphics overlapping.

I don't consider MACPAINT/DRAW to qualify - not enough structure to the
text manipulation.  TROFF/PIC doesn't qualify - too formal for interactive
use (graphics should be drawn, not programmed).

I've both an academic interest in this (although not enough to dig thru the
journals this week) and a practical interest (I'd like to use a portable PC
as a general scratchpad).

Anything interesting out there?
