Flowchart commands for command driven diagramming

Create a document with “Command drive” style and type commands into the field. Then click “Build” button or press a shortcut Cmd+R. You can add additional shapes from the palette which will be preserved after rebuild. Graph

graph TD

This statement declares a new graph and the direction of the graph layout.

• TB – top bottom
• BT – bottom top
• RL – right left
• LR – left right
• TD – same as TB

    graph TB;
        A-->B;
        A-->C;
        B-->D;
        C-->D;

    graph LR;
        A-->B;
        A-->C;
        B-->D;
        C-->D;

**A node (default)**id1

graph TB;
    A

A node with textid1This is the text in the boxIt is also possible to set text in the box that differs from the id. If this is done several times, it is the last text found for the node that will be used. Also if you define edges for the node later on, you can omit text definitions. The one previously defined will be used when rendering the box.

graph TB;
    A[This is the text in the box]

A node with round edgesid1(This is the text in the box);

graph TB;
    A(This is the text in the box)

A node in the form of a circleid1((This is the text in the circle));

graph TB;
    A((This is the text in the circle))

A node in an asymetric shapeid1>This is the text in the box]

graph TB;
    A>This is the text in the box]

**A node (rhombus)**id1{This is the text in the box}

graph TB;
    A{This is the text in the box}

A link with arrow headA–>B

An open linkA — B

Styling linkslinkStyle 3 stroke:#ff3,stroke-width:4px;It is possible to style links. For instance you might want to style a link that is going backwards in the flow. As links have no ids in the same way as nodes, some other way of deciding what style the links should be attached to is required. Instead of ids, the order number (starting from 0) of when the link was defined in the graph is used. In the example below the style defined in the linkStyle statement will belong to the fourth link in the graph

graph LR
    id1(Start)-->id2(Stop);
    linkStyle 0 stroke:#ff0000,stroke-width:4px;

Styling a node

graph LR
    id1(Start)-->id2(Stop)
    style id1 fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
    style id2 fill:#ccf,stroke:#f66,stroke-width:2px,stroke-dasharray: 5, 5;
