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.
