Orthogram is a command line program and Python library that lets you draw block diagrams. It reads the definition of a diagram from a YAML file and produces a PNG file like this one:
This project might be of interest to you if:
- You do not want to use a GUI. You prefer your diagrams defined in plain text files.
- You know where your blocks should be, but you would rather have the computer maintain the connections for you.
- You tried to force Graphviz or PlantUML to output the layout you want, but to no avail.
Install from PyPI:
pip install orthogram
Assuming there is a diagram definition file named diagram.yaml in
your current directory, run the following command to produce a PNG
file:
python -m orthogram diagram.yaml
