NAME
ditaa - convert ASCII diagrams into proper bitmap graphics
SYNOPSIS
ditaa [options] input [output]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
--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.
