gupackage? – naphaneal May 29 '18 at 18:54gupackage. it does not offer the functionality of creating images like you've shown in your example figures, AFAICS. it does however allow you to create the diagrams (check the examples ingudoc.pdf). I reckon, in combination withtikz, you should achieve your goal. – naphaneal May 30 '18 at 19:31
