found out that both the venerable PlantUML and Mermaid.js have Gantt chart diagrams.

and they are both accessible in Julia with Kroki.jl. and although Kroki is presented as a free SaaS, it can be self-hosted by running a single .jar file.

combined with Pluto.jl notebooks, it's a strong FOSS solution and gives a lot of flexibility.

#Diagramme mit #KI und #PlantUML erstellen.

Mit #KI-generierten Beispielen und deskriptiven #Grafiken kommt man schneller und einfacher zu Organisations-Diagrammen.

Mit dem Titel können die Wenigsten etwas anfangen; mir fiel kein Besserer ein. Zurzeit schreibe ich an unserer IT-Strategie für die nächsten Jahre. Dabei geht es auch um die Entwicklung der Aufbau- und Ablauf-Organisation.

Arnaud Roques released #PlantUML version 1.2025.2. https://plantuml.com/en/download

I'm excited to be teaching my #DiagramsAsCode with #AI workshop live and in-person at #GOTO #Copenhagen!

Join me to:
Gain a grounding in #PlantUML, #MermaidJS, and #Structurizr
Understand the tradeoffs of diagrams-as-code and models vs. standard diagrams
Recognise the limitations and useful use cases of using diagrams-as-code with LLMs

@rdmueller can you recommend a code to UML tool which can be used in CI pipelines?

I am currently using #PlantUML and it works, but I am asking myself whether there are better alternatives?

I got a large class diagram and the challenge is to layout it in a proper way.

Arnaud Roques released #PlantUML version 1.2025.1. https://plantuml.com/en/download

https://github.com/pierre3/PlantUmlClassDiagramGenerator - #VSCode plugin and #dotNET global tool to generate #PlantUML class diagrams from C# projects or class files. Nice work Hirotada Kobayashi.

https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML - a plugin for #PlantUML that lets you build #C4 diagrams. See also https://c4model.com/

FTR, this paper was written entirely in #orgmode in #Emacs: a simple export to LaTeX and then upload resulting files (including images created via src blocks, e.g. with #gnuplot, #graphviz, and #PlantUML) to #arXiv. Thank you to all the code developers for all those tools for creating such a powerful, useful, and efficient working environment for coding, analysis, and writing prose.

And all of it #FOSS!

Arnaud Roques released #PlantUML version 1.2025.0. https://plantuml.com/en/download

into #diagramsascode again the last days.

conclusions:
many small, early stage, single purpose approaches. tried #structurizr #d2 #mermaid a bit, came from #plantuml
all of them are sw centric, not extendable on user level

not really usable for #flightlevels inspired #worksystemsdesign

1/ Update on #structurizr vs c4-plantuml:

Structurizr:
* supports different views on the same diagram definition
* good mechanisms to split a diagram into files
* navigatable web view
* can enforce c4 conformity
* implicit dependencies

plantUml:
* idea plugin to directly render the diagram in the IDE
* no constraints on how you model your diagram

Both result in really nice, readable code and produce good looking diagrams.

let's see if we can make this work https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/posts/orgmode-diagrams.html

Just in case someone with some #Antora #AsciiDoc and maybe #PlantUML experience is around: I've a question: https://github.com/madmas/demo-antora-doc-A/issues/1 #plsretoot #retoot

Un plugin maven qui génère des diagrammes de classes à partir du contenu du CLASSPATH. Ca va me servir ... https://devlauer.github.io/plantuml-generator/plantuml-generator-maven-plugin/latest/class-diagram.html #java #plantuml #class #diagram #générateur #opensource #library #maven

let's dive a bit into visualization practices for #worksystems in #flightlevels world. one of the core visualizations is the work system topology.

doing it with #miro is easy, trying it with #plantuml is what I was curious about.
