Ascii output format

Question

Ascii output format

danielsnider opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

Hello again 😊

I made a chart to help document how some software works. I just wish I could generate ascii of the flow chart so that I can paste the chart within the code. Probably a tall order, eh?

Great project,
Thanks!

Hey @danielsnider ! I don't have access to your chart via the link you provided. Could you click Share and copy and paste the long share url.

Just to clarify, you want to be able to export your graph as all ASCII text. Something like this?

┌───────────┐
│hello world│
│           ├───┐
│           │   │
└───────────┘   │
                │
                ▼

Yes, that is a really nice example of output as ascii text! Exactly what I am thinking of.
My graph is not that interesting but here is the working URL.

I could find some examples that provide a way to create ASCII diagram from scratch here, but exporting to that (specific) format is totally a new story.
