Not /quite/ what you asked for, but when I wanted something similar (it
was graphs in my case), I found a very lightweight solution was to build
everything in an array with some handhacked functions, emit a PNM (which
is very easy; you just write a list of numbers out in textual form), and
then run pnmtopng over it. So, if lightness is a consideration and your
actual requirements are very simple (lines, boxes, and text), you might
want to go for something like that, rather than having the overhead of a
full-featured drawing library.
