Oh yes there does.
I have seen people makeup ad hoc notation during an ad hoc diagram and then get confused by what it means orthe meaning shifts during the diagram. No, we have a standardised language. You wouldn't want blueprints with ad hoc units. "14 snails thick, and 3 rabbit-seconds in length which we indicate with an underlined star"
- fargle 6y agoYou don't need a standard for ad-hoc whiteboard diagrams or expositional figures. You're comparing apples and oranges because what you are talking about needing this level of precision in is more "blueprints", not ad-hoc diagrams. And, while it's my opinion only, blueprints for software are best written in prose. For C++ for example, I think the best language to use is concise, precise, well written, C++. And so on.
