I write Scheme code
to generate TeXdraw commands
which TeX translates into Postscript
which is embedded into the DVI file
which dvips translates to Postscript
which ps2pdf (with the appropriate command arguments) translates to PDF

And somehow this seems natural to me.

I have old Common Lisp code to generate diagrams using PSTricks, and
then it's the same pipeline.
