flowchart-fun VS viz.js

https://flowchart.fun recently helped a lot with a project.

- flowchart.fun - paid - https://flowchart.fun

flowchart.fun though!

On https://flowchart.fun I found that I got better overall results by asking GPT for an intermediate syntax that it was less likely to mess up (and easier for me to parse), and then parsing and transforming that syntax to my DSL. The relevant code: https://github.com/tone-row/flowchart-fun/blob/main/api/prom...

https://flowchart.fun is a good one if you're looking for something fast. (It's text-to-diagram)

That's the use-case we're angling for with our GPT integration on flowchart.fun

If you just need the image for your interface, you can generate one very quickly with https://flowchart.fun

Generally, you're best off with Viz.js, an emscripten transcompile of GraphViz

Other resources - Graphviz and Viz.js helped me a lot in in creating graphing app I built before I knew of these other libraries. "Graph visualization" was what I was searching for.

To modify it, go to http://viz-js.com/, select Engine: circo and paste the following code: ``` digraph G { // Colors. See https://graphviz.org/doc/info/colors.html. Pikemen, MenAtArms [style=filled, fillcolor=lightskyblue1] Archers, Crossbowmen [style=filled, fillcolor=khaki] Horsemen, Knights [style=filled, fillcolor=lawngreen] Rams, Springalds, Mangonels, Trebuchets [style=filled, fillcolor=plum]

This might fit the bill in js land http://viz-js.com/

> but the bundle is enormous - over a megabyte of data

If only DOT layout engine and JSON output format is enabled at compile time it is about 600KiB, or less than 200KiB Gzipped. https://github.com/rapidlua/viz.js

> A nice thing about having an SVG render is that it's very easy to attach events, and inline SVGs can be styled with CSS.

Indeed it’s super handy! I’m using this approach in https://LuaJIT.me to produce an interactive visualisation of a graph of traces in a JIT compiler.
