I just ran into this as well. This is how it looks like on my vt320

FWIW the option has been reimplemented at this point, so you can specify the characters you want to use (such as "+", "-", "|", "/", "" or whatever else).

Yep, thanks, I agree! This is not an ASCII chart to be formally strict. The box-drawing symbols were initially configurable, later I decided to remove that option, but the title remained the same.

@evert wow! cool term, man! )

In order to display it in true ASCII 0-127, you can change the drawing symbols, like so:

        for (let y = min2; y <= max2; ++y) { // axis + labels
            let label = format (max - (y - min2) * range / rows, y - min2)
            result[y - min2][Math.max (offset - label.length, 0)] = label
            result[y - min2][offset - 1] = (y == 0) ? '┼' : '┤'  // ←--------- change this to + and |
        }

        let y0 = Math.round (series[0] * ratio) - min2
        result[rows - y0][offset - 1] = '┼' // first value // ←--------- change this to +

        for (let x = 0; x < series.length - 1; x++) { // plot the line
            let y0 = Math.round (series[x + 0] * ratio) - min2
            let y1 = Math.round (series[x + 1] * ratio) - min2
            if (y0 == y1) {
                result[rows - y0][x + offset] = '─' // ←-------- change this to a dash -
            } else {
                result[rows - y1][x + offset] = (y0 > y1) ? '╰' : '╭' // ←- change this to \ and /
                result[rows - y0][x + offset] = (y0 > y1) ? '╮' : '╯' // ←- change this to \ and /
                let from = Math.min (y0, y1)
                let to = Math.max (y0, y1)
                for (let y = from + 1; y < to; y++) {
                    result[rows - y][x + offset] = '│' // ← change this to a small vertical bar |
                }
            }
        }

↑ that, however, requires editing the source code of the package. I'll think on restoring config options for drawing symbols as well.
