Quick start
The simplest way is to use the interactive demo, load examples and play with the settings.
If you want to use it locally as a command-line tool, install it from OPAM:
$ opam install DrawGrammar
Then create a my_grammar.iso-ebnf file containing, for example:
expr = term, { ( '+' | '-' ) , term };
term = { factor, ( '*' | '/' ) }, factor;
factor = integer | '(', expr, ')';
integer = [ '-' ], digit, { digit };
digit = '0' | '1' | '...' | '9';
And draw it:
$ draw_grammar my_grammar.iso-ebnf
If you want to tweak settings, the help is accessible using:
$ draw_grammar --help
Development version
If you want to use the development version on the command line, you can:
$ opam pin add General --dev-repo $ opam pin add DrawGrammar --dev-repo
This always matches the version used in the interactive demo.
