Text-to-diagram UML sketching tool
The goal of the project is to build a platform-independent UML modeling library for text-to-diagram translation. The domain-specific scripting language used by the core library is designed for simplicity of diagram sketching. The rendering engine produces an image object which can be saved or returned as a PNG or JPEG file.
Philosophy behind declarative diagram sketching
ModSL addresses several shortcomings in the conventional mouse-click-to-diagram approach:
* Existing visual tools do not allow proper version control/change management for diagrams.
