- Free layout: Not constrained by Mermaid syntax limitations
- Hand-drawn style: Native Excalidraw look, not rendered code blocks
- Editable output: Drag the.excalidrawfile to excalidraw.com to continue editing
Input: nodes: [{label: "Step 1", color?: "blue", shape?: "rectangle"}] edges: [{from: "Step 1", to: "Step 2", label?: "next"}] direction?: "LR" | "RL" | "TB" | "BT" (default: "LR") title?: "My Flowchart" output_path?: "/path/to/output.excalidraw" Output: Path to generated .excalidraw file
Colors: blue, green, purple, yellow, red, gray, orange, pink
Shapes: rectangle (default), diamond (decisions), ellipse (start/end)
Input: layers: [{ name: "Frontend", color?: "blue", components: [{label: "React"}, {label: "Next.js"}] }] connections?: [{from: "React", to: "API Server"}] output_path?: "/path/to/output.excalidraw" Output: Path to generated .excalidraw file
Input: file_path: "/path/to/existing.excalidraw" add_nodes?: [{label: "New Node", color?: "green", x?: 100, y?: 100}] remove_labels?: ["Old Node"] add_connections?: [{from: "A", to: "B"}] output_path?: "/path/to/output.excalidraw" Output: Path to modified file
Input: file_path: "/path/to/diagram.excalidraw" Output: Structured description (shapes, connections, colors)
Input: file_path: "/path/to/diagram.excalidraw" format: "svg" Output: Path to exported SVG file
Uses thegrandalflibrary for proper directed graph layout:
- Layer assignment: Nodes placed in layers based on graph topology
- Crossing minimization: Multi-pass optimization to reduce edge crossings
- Coordinate assignment: Balanced positioning within layers
- Cycle handling: Feedback edge detection for cyclic graphs
- Disconnected subgraphs: Automatic side-by-side placement
Accurate text width calculation for mixed Chinese/English text:
Uses Excalidraw's modernfixedPoint+orbitbinding (not the deprecatedfocus/gapformat):
{ "startBinding": { "elementId": "box1", "fixedPoint": [1.0, 0.5001], "mode": "orbit" } }
Arrows automatically connect at the correct edge based on relative positions.
