Anyone know of anything like this for data models? I'd love to build something like:
Customers have a name, address, and phone
customers have many orders
orders have many items
items have a name, description and price
Something like that.
- bockris 17y agoIf you lock your vocabulary down e.g. entity 'have a' comma-sep-attr-list entity 'have many' referenced-entity etc and create dot files for Graphviz this would be very easy.
- fnid 17y agoThat's an excellent program. I downloaded it per your suggestion, but I really wanted a web based version. Thank you though, I will find many uses for this program as well.
- wooby 17y agoDot itself is also a command line tool, so it's easy to make documents and presentations with TeX that have text-format diagrams in the dot language. You can also do things like generate call graphs for programs, or parse log files into sequence diagrams by parsing input somehow and generating dot files.

- fnid 17y agoyuml.me is exactly what I'm looking for. Very nice. Thank you.
- diN0bot 17y agoi have a script that reads django models.py files and constructs OmniGraffle object models. hmm...could be neat to go the other way since i usually make the diagrams first...i wrote the script because once the main idea is figured out then i'll make lots of iterative changes in the code and not want to update the diagram so carefully.. i'm still working out the details. but i'll post here as soon as that's all good :-) not sure if anyone else is interested, i guess.
