No, it's not, even if it may seem to be. It is done in textual mode,
using textual fonts to do the drawing (which, by the way, looks quite
awful on my system which uses an iso2 font, so instead of box drawing
lines I see accented characters).

It would only be considered graphical if the software were actually
drawing the various boxes instead of "typing" them with fonts.
