Playfair with EchoSVG

You may have noticed that the Playfair project started with the JFreeSVG library and has now switched to the EchoSVG library. Both libraries have their advantages and disadvantages, but JFreeSVG's GPL 3.0 license in particular makes working with it difficult in many projects, often even impossible. With

@rdmueller can you recommend a code to UML tool which can be used in CI pipelines?

I am currently using #PlantUML and it works, but I am asking myself whether there are better alternatives?

I got a large class diagram and the challenge is to layout it in a proper way. πŸ™ˆπŸ˜

@zwangseinweisung Dann teile ich mit Euren Entwicklern die Leidenschaft fΓΌr das #FOSS - Projekt #PlantUML - Auch wenn es manchmal etwas widerspenstig bei der Anordnung von Elementen ist, ist der #DiagramAsCode -Ansatz wirklich super fΓΌr die versionierbare Dokumentation von Software!

Planning to run #structurizr on your own #Windows PC and wondering what all you need to do to be able to draw #C4Model pictures using #DiagramAsCode?

Here's the list of what I did!

Should I do a blog post? Follow to find out when it gets done

#SoftwareEngineering

Watch the Youtube Video
Read the book (optional) - maybe, read something else online

Structurizr Lite
=> Get Java
=> Get Structurizr
=> Create a folder for the DSL file
=> Create a batch file to launch it
=> Get the VS code extension
=> Get started

Discover you're no good.

Read the book (still optional)

Find the language guide - build your diagram slowly using that
= Add a context diagram
= Add some more diagrams
= Add some styling for elements
= Add a local style
= Create some pages

Structurizr CLI
= Download
= Understand the format
= There's a batch file, so you only need to call it
= Generate a mermaid output for your system
= Realise it's far from perfect, but functional
= Discover that you want PNG on the command line and the cli won't do it

Get Node
Get Puppeteer
Get the puppeteer scripts

Create a batch file for running the export

You're set!
