WireViz VS text-to-diagram-site

If you don't mind my asking, what aspects of "acceptable layout" is usually the first to get busted?

I'm extremely excited about using WireViz[1] to automate wiring harness diagram creation, and if I can, I'd like to know the speedbumps before I hit them. I'm thinkin generous linking between diagrams will be one path.

Like WireViz?

WireViz is nice for generating manufacturing files for wiring looms, but you might want to use something else for descriptive documentation diagrams

WireViz, Easily document cables and wiring harnesses WireViz is a little tool very handy to document your cabling and get beautiful visual from it.

I found that wireviz does have multicolour support, dashed and stripes but maybe not the angled one we'd need for earth lead in Australia (iec also). Diagrammatically it should look like a barbers pole. yellow and green

As far as guidelines, I have spent time looking as well an never came away with a good answer. One useful website for comparing some of the best tools is https://text-to-diagram.com/. My personal favorite is D2. Still lacking a few layout features that I want, but it gets me 90% of the way there. The syntax is great for projects big to small, and it strikes the perfect balance between "create a diagram fast" and "feature rich". But in terms of actual guidelines, I would agree with another user that C4 actually tries to lay out some sort of guidelines.

One of those "text to diagram" contenders did a comparison website (open source) a while back: https://text-to-diagram.com/ (nomnoml isn't in there).

If you can get enough data out of the ticket system, maybe something like https://text-to-diagram.com/ will help.

We made a site to let people compare: https://text-to-diagram.com . (Mermaid maintainers contribute to it)

I think Mermaid is better than PlantUML to write something quickly.

But D2 looks very promising. I like the simpler and more intuitive syntax.

have you seen https://text-to-diagram.com/ for comparing these flowcharts including mermaidJS and graphwiz as you mentioned and there are a few more there.

Yes, it's a limited generator, because it's like 20 lines long and not the point of the article.
