Ditta: DIagrams Through Ascii Art

The original utility on SF <a href="http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/</a> and some addons <a href="http://ditaa-addons.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://ditaa-addons.sourceforge.net/</a><p>Ditaa has also been integrated with in orgmode for emacs - <a href="http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#playingwithditaa" rel="nofollow">http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#playingwithditaa</a>

It's nice, but the problem is the ASCII art is, imho, even harder to generate than the flowcharts.<p>My advice would be to add an option to take formatted lists, sequences, text, etc. and change <i>those</i> into flowcharts. There you'd have a winner.<p>(Kind of like the new and super cool smart charts in Office)

Hey, I developed ditaa! Comments/suggestions welcome :-)

Have the respect of correctly spelling the name of the application you're linking to.<p>s/ditta/ditaa/

Neat, we usenet dinosaurs love making diagrams in ascii art. By the way Jave looks like a perfect complement to this: <a href="http://www.jave.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jave.de/</a>

It looks pretty neat , however i can't really see any usage on it ,its way faster to use a program with a gui where you can draw those diagrams instead of witting ascii ...<p>Could anyone suggest a good usage of this program ?

I thought it was going to be a program for helping me draw Ascii art diagrams. I was disappointed. It's a program for converting Ascii art into graphical diagrams.
