I have used Graphviz and PlantUML 15 years ago in the context of advanced DSL modeling. With good results, for that time.   That the tools are still around, is a good sign. Or a bad one xD

 Betreff: Re: [tractusx-dev] Open Disscussion - Alignment to one diagram drawing tool
   [**EXTERNAL E-MAIL**]
 
Hi,   I have good experiences with Mermaid, IMO it’s easy to use and works great with Markdown.   I also tried Graphviz for a moment but decided for Mermaid in the end.   Kind regards, Evelyn

 Hey Fabian,  
Personally I like plantUML because it is well supported in tools (VSCode, IntelliJ), is highly customisable and it can be easily version-controlled. Don’t know Mermaid, but I’ve used Draw.io in the past, but just for
 quick drafts. 
  
  
  
I just want start a disscussion about possibilities to draw diagrams as code with open
 source tools. 
I have already seen some good approches in some of Eclipse Tractus-X repositories. 
Do you have already used some kind of tools like PlantUML, Mermaid or something like that? 
Do you have an personal favorite that also can be easily used
 by all working members within Eclipse Tractus X? 
Of course these tools have to be aligned
 with allowed open source licences of the
 Eclipse Foundation. 
So basically can we all align to one (or at least a few) format / tool / option we want to use?  
The reason would be to make it easier for everyone to maintain / update diagrams. 
What are your thoughts about it?
