For more flexible diagram work try the Artist-mode/ditaa combination (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ArtistMode http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ArtistMode, http://ditaa.sourceforge.net http://ditaa.sourceforge.net)
Or course once you get really serious you'd use Graphviz http://www.graphviz.org http://www.graphviz.org
Diagrams in text = version controlled = win!
- almost 17y agoartist-mode to create maybe, but then how do you edit? Concepts such as "make this box bigger" or even "move this box over here" get kind of difficult when it's all just pixels or all just ascii chars. Graphviz is pretty cool though. But saying that I tend to have to spend too much time tweaking it just so that all the labels don't overlap.
- bockris 17y agoIt's just a guess but I'll bet it's using Graphviz under the covers. I wrote something similar to create ERD's on the fly from a schema.
