Relative positioning inspired by TikZ

[asteppke]

First of all thank you for this fresh take on graphics in python. This is one of the few approaches that are directed at the user creating actual drawings with a succinct syntax!

What comes to mind is that often a relative placement of objects would be handy. In the spirit of TikZ (Overleaf tutorial, TikZ on Wikipedia) to draw a diagram such as this one:

\begin{tikzpicture}[
roundnode/.style={circle, draw=green!60, fill=green!5, very thick, minimum size=7mm},
squarednode/.style={rectangle, draw=red!60, fill=red!5, very thick, minimum size=5mm},
]
%Nodes
\node[squarednode]      (maintopic)                              {2};
\node[roundnode]        (uppercircle)       [above=of maintopic] {1};
\node[squarednode]      (rightsquare)       [right=of maintopic] {3};
\node[roundnode]        (lowercircle)       [below=of maintopic] {4};

%Lines
\draw[->] (uppercircle.south) -- (maintopic.north);
\draw[->] (maintopic.east) -- (rightsquare.west);
\draw[->] (rightsquare.south) .. controls +(down:7mm) and +(right:7mm) .. (lowercircle.east);
\end{tikzpicture}

So for something comparable in joy maybe something along these lines would allow this:

maintopic = text(2)
uppercircle = text(1) | above_of(maintopic)
rightsquare = text(3) | right_of(maintopic)
lowercircle = text(4) | below_of(maintopic)

And corresponding lines:

line(arrow='->') | from(uppercircle.south) | to(maintopic.north)
# or alternative syntax ideas:
line(from=uppercircle.south, to=maintopic.north)

Would that be in the spirit of joy?
