Comment (by ncohen):

 Hellooooooo Christian !!

 > 1. for the braid representation: I would think of options for
 orientation being X-to-Y for X,Y being top,bottom or bottom,top or left-
 right or right-left. Also, I think of a braid in a different way: order
 the inversions in some order (say lex) and then swap two strings at a
 time. This produces pictures like on the wiki page for the braid group,
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_group.

 You mean the kind of drawings produced by my patch on pseudolines (#12090)
 ? `:-P`

 I will not code that twice, but that feature of pseudolines can be exposed
 in the .show method of course !

 > 2. A second way of drawing the chord diagram is by having two vertices
 (i,"in") and (i,"out") for each letter. The pic then becomes a matching of
 2n points placed on a circle.

 > 3. do you think of implementing the Rothe (or inversion) diagram Florent
 mentioned?

 > 4. The one-line notation is also nice when just drawing arcs between
 points.

 Actually I only needed to plot permutations as done by the initial patch,
 that is the ``algorithm="braid"`` version of the current patch. I
 implemented others because it did not seem to be the universal way to draw
 them but besides that I will stay as clear from graphical codes as I can
 `:-P`

 Have fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun !!!
