ditaa - convert ASCII diagrams into proper bitmap graphics
ditaa [options] input [output]
This manual page documents briefly the ditaa command.
DiTAA is a small command-line utility that can convert
diagrams drawn using ASCII art ("drawings" that contain characters
that resemble lines, like | / and -), into proper bitmap graphics.
DiTAA also uses special markup syntax to increase the
possibilities of shapes and symbols that can be rendered.
- --help
- Show summary of options.
- -v, --verbose
- Makes ditaa more verbose.
- -A, --no-antialias
- Turns anti-aliasing off.
- -d, --debug
- Renders the debug grid over the resulting image.
- -E,
--no-separation
- Prevents the separation of common edges of shapes.
- -e ENCODING,
--encoding ENCODING
- The encoding of the input file.
- -h, --html
- In this case the input is an HTML file. The contents of the <pre
class="textdiagram"> tags are rendered as diagrams and
saved in the images directory and a new HTML file is produced with the
appropriate <img> tags.
- -o, --overwrite
- If the filename of the destination image already exists, an alternative
name is chosen. If the overwrite option is selected, the image file is
instead overwriten.
- -r,
--round-corners
- Causes all corners to be rendered as round corners.
- -s SCALE,
--scale SCALE
- A natural number that determines the size of the rendered image. The units
are fractions of the default size (2.5 renders 1.5 times bigger than the
default).
- -S, --no-shadows
- Turns off the drop-shadow effect.
- -t TABS, --tabs
TABS
- Tabs are normally interpreted as 8 spaces but it is possible to change
that using this option. It is not advisable to use tabs in your
diagrams.
