Ask HN: Looking for a diagram/graph renderer similar to graphviz/dot

1 pointsby locriacyberover 2 years ago
I want to find a CLI text-&gt;png diagram renderer. It runs on Linux.<p>I have seen this software before, but I couldn&#x27;t find it now. Maybe some of you know what the software is called?<p>## Example 1: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;envs.sh&#x2F;Qfj.png<p>This diagram is created with something like ``` ellipse line ellipse ```<p>there is no concept of &quot;edge&#x2F;node&quot; in this software.<p>## Example 2: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;envs.sh&#x2F;Qfc.png<p>This diagram is created with something like ``` set direction to right ellipse set direction to down ellipse ```<p>This behavior is different from graphviz.
