When to use it
- You need to create a basic diagram in a terminal or plain text environment.
- You want to include a simple visualization directly within code comments or markdown files.
- You're working with version control systems and prefer lightweight, text-based diagrams for clarity and portability.
Key capabilities
- Converts PlantUML syntax into ASCII art diagrams.
- Supports common diagram types like sequence, class, and activity diagrams.
- Works in environments without graphical rendering capabilities.
Example prompts
- "Generate an ASCII sequence diagram for a login flow."
- "Create a simple class diagram using PlantUML syntax and output it as ASCII art."
