YEd is actually not really a drawing application, as you cannot (easily) draw generic drawings. Presumably, because I gave up on it after couple large-ish diagrams, just before my use has reached the threshold above which I consider Emacs integration. >īasically, I wish I could draw a picture representing the rough layout of key image components, and have this as a hard constraint on positioning other elements. How about separating out layouting a bit, and letting me type in something like that:Īnd then continue with regular PUML code: Or at least a better way for giving layout hints than soft constraints introduced through invisible links.ĮDIT: A random idea if anyone is developing something PUML-like: I generally like it, but I'd like it 100x more if there was a way to explicitly pin some component to absolute coordinates. No way to do that reliably, the result is very brittle. It's even worse when you have your own opinion about the desired layout. Try to draw anything more complicated than three boxes and an arrow, and you'll be spending 90% of the time fighting the layout engine. + PUML renderer is technically a free-to-download JAR, so it can presumably integrate well with my Org-mode life. I love working with plaintext for all the usual benefits, so this fits.
