blockdiag generate block-diagram image file from spec-text file.
Project description
blockdiag generate block-diagram image file from spec-text file.
Features
Generate block-diagram from dot like text (basic feature).
Multilingualization for node-label (utf-8 only).
You can get some examples and generated images on tk0miya.bitbucket.org .
Setup
by easy_install
Make environment:
$ easy_install blockdiag
If you want to export as PDF format, give pdf arguments:
$ easy_install "blockdiag[pdf]"
by buildout
Make environment:
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/tk0miya/blockdiag $ cd blockdiag $ python bootstrap.py $ bin/buildout
Copy and modify ini file. example:
$ cp <blockdiag installed path>/blockdiag/examples/simple.diag . $ vi simple.diag
Please refer to spec-text setting sample section for the format of the simpla.diag configuration file.
spec-text setting sample
Few examples are available. You can get more examples at tk0miya.bitbucket.org .
simple.diag
simple.diag is simply define nodes and transitions by dot-like text format:
diagram admin {
top_page -> config -> config_edit -> config_confirm -> top_page;
}
screen.diag
screen.diag is more complexly sample. diaglam nodes have a alternative label and some transitions:
diagram admin {
top_page [label = "Top page"];
foo_index [label = "List of FOOs"];
foo_detail [label = "Detail FOO"];
foo_add [label = "Add FOO"];
foo_add_confirm [label = "Add FOO (confirm)"];
foo_edit [label = "Edit FOO"];
foo_edit_confirm [label = "Edit FOO (confirm)"];
foo_delete_confirm [label = "Delete FOO (confirm)"];
bar_detail [label = "Detail of BAR"];
bar_edit [label = "Edit BAR"];
bar_edit_confirm [label = "Edit BAR (confirm)"];
logout;
top_page -> foo_index;
top_page -> bar_detail;
foo_index -> foo_detail;
foo_detail -> foo_edit;
foo_detail -> foo_delete_confirm;
foo_index -> foo_add -> foo_add_confirm -> foo_index;
foo_index -> foo_edit -> foo_edit_confirm -> foo_index;
foo_index -> foo_delete_confirm -> foo_index;
bar_detail -> bar_edit -> bar_edit_confirm -> bar_detail;
}

Execute blockdiag command:
$ blockdiag simple.diag $ ls simple.png simple.png
