orthogram

Orthogram is a command line program and Python library that lets you draw block diagrams. It reads the definition of a diagram from a YAML file and produces a PNG file like this one:

Complex diagram demonstrating the capabilities of the program

Target audience

This project might be of interest to you if:

You do not want to use a GUI. You prefer your diagrams defined in plain text files.
You know where your blocks should be, but you would rather have the computer maintain the connections for you.
You tried to force Graphviz or PlantUML to output the layout you want, but to no avail.

Installation and usage

Install from PyPI:

pip install orthogram

Assuming there is a diagram definition file named diagram.yaml in your current directory, run the following command to produce a PNG file:

python -m orthogram diagram.yaml
