For this and many similar applications (Hasse diagrams, one-off characters
like inverted ampersand, etc.), Latex's picture environment is a remarkably
expressive language, permitting a self-contained library of macros for
drawing circuits to be implemented in 20 noncomment lines.  See

    http://boole.stanford.edu/pub/sumprod.pdf
    http://boole.stanford.edu/pub/TEX/sumprod.tex

for the circuit realization of sum and tensor product in chu(Set,2),
which appeared in http://boole.stanford.edu/pub/gates.pdf (FOCS'93 Palo
Alto)
and http://boole.stanford.edu/pub/bud.pdf (TEMPUS'94 Budapest).
