That sounds like a 3D GFX system? OpenGL-ish.

Anyway if you have a piece of code that will
just draw one 2D box for 5x10m or some other
digits that I can edit in a text file - *and*
a command to actually put it into a file, I'll

Yes, I saw one in MELPA when I searched for
"cad":

    scad-mode [...] A major mode for editing OpenSCAD code

There is also "scad-preview".

By the way, here is some pic(1) source I wrote
~7y ago - I even wrote a small tutorial how to
use it - perhaps I can use that now...
