I use GraphViz a lot. Here it the Twitter conversation that ensued when I asked a question about the use of Group Theory "In Real Life": https://www.solipsys.

- Lunatic666 6y agoI'm using it at work, e.g. to visualize state machines. It makes it a lot easier to discuss it with business people. In Java there is a great library which translates code into graphviz markup: guru.nidi/graphviz-java
- h91wka 6y agoI don't want to diminish importance of graphviz, but PlantUML is better suited for visualizing state machines, message sequence diagrams and whatnot.
- xamde 6y agoPlantUML is a good syntax. Under the hood... it renders via GraphViz
- baq 6y agowhich is exactly why it's great! :)
- username3 6y agoDoes PlantUML do statecharts?
- seidleroni 6y agoYes. https://plantuml.com/state-diagram https://plantuml.com/state-diagram
- gilleain 6y agoHa nice visualisation. Would be amazing if this was available for more chat systems where conversations branch like this. Also, as a side note its funny that there is a lot of discussion (including Baez!) about theoretical maths, and one lone tweet about molecular symmetry.
- ColinWright 6y agoI have the same system for Mastodon ... works well to help visualise the complex discussions that sometimes happen.
- chrisweekly 6y agohaha, that is awesome. "show don't tell", "the medium is the message"... and wow, what a great use case! This tree UI for rendering multi-threaded conversations would be a great feature in slack or twitter. Bravo -- and thanks for sharing! :)
