The title of this proposed tip is a bit ambitious: graphics and drawing? I'm not sure that this page is really useful without something showing how it could be useful. Echo is ok for an occasional message, but not for a GUI. Netrw is an example of a Vim script that does complex presentation, without echo. Several tips use echohl/echon, but none discuss it as a topic, but there are lots of Vim commands, and I'm not sure that a tip on each is useful. JohnBeckett (talk) 09:52, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
