Sequence Diagram Editor

The sequence diagram editor allows you to insert and edit diagrams based on seqdiag. Seqdiag uses a basic script language to define diagrams. This plugin adds a dialog where one can define a diagram in this script. The dialog shows a preview of the rendered diagram and when the diagram is finished it can be inserted in a zim page as an image. You can always edit it later again by selecting "Edit Diagram" from the context menu (right-mouse-click on the diagram will show the context menu).

Dependencies: This plugin requires "seqdiag" to be installed and available in the system path.

To install the "seqdiag" tool, use easy_install or pip:

$ sudo easy_install seqdiag

$ sudo pip seqdiag

Options

This plugin has the following options:

The option Generate diagrams in SVG format determines whether the diagrams will be generated in the SVG format. This is only enabled by default if your system supports it.

Example

For example a diagram like:

Can be created by entering the following definition in the dialog:

diagram {
  browser  -> webserver [label = "GET /index.html"];
  browser <-- webserver;
  browser  -> webserver [label = "POST /blog/comment"];
              webserver  -> database [label = "INSERT comment"];
              webserver <-- database;
  browser <-- webserver;
}
