- touisteur 7y agoHi, Big Big fan of yEd but how can you do text to diagram with it? Do you write the .graphml file by hand (never looked it up, might be easier than I think!). Any pointers? Also, looking up the license some time ago it seemed the free license prevented you from doing automatic diagram generation with yEd?
- ygra 7y agoYeah, I'd say yEd fits into the same category the author noted at the very beginning: It's a graphical tool for creating graphs. yEd does support several file formats to import, some of which are text-based, e.g. TGF, but they're not terribly convenient to input directly. And indeed, yEd is free, but intentionally lacks mechanisms (and the permission) of automating it. Those use cases are usually far better served by licensing the underlying graph drawing/analysis/layout library.
