How are diagrams drawn
tomas789 opened this issue · 1 comments
There are many slick diagrams all over the documentation. For example the one on top of this page. https://tespy.readthedocs.io/en/main/tutorials/heat_pump_steps.html#tespy-tutorial-heat-pump-label
In their source SVG code I can see they were generated by Inkscape but I cannot find the way how.
How were those diagrams drawn?
Thanks.

Thanks for that, appreciate it :).

The uncomfortable truth is, that I have hand-drawn all of these with a template I created. Once you get a good flow with it, it is really quick and sometimes also a welcome change in work.
However, the programmer in me screams to implement automation based on the network structure or implement flowsheeting to generate the TESPy network based on the flow diagram. I am not really a good front-end developer, so I did not put a lot of time and effort into exploring the possibilities for this.
But there could be some options e.g.
- using draw.io: #413 and it looks like there was some more work done based on that here jgraph/drawio#3648.
- Other options might be using inkscape templates, for example something like https://github.com/upb-lea/Inkscape_electric_Symbols or,
- if you want to get real fancy have TeX generated figures, like https://github.com/tub-hofmann/chemplants-tub.
