Feature Request: add-on for draw.io #293

Open JJger148 opened 2 years ago

It would be amazing if I could use argdown to generate the diagram in draw.io Maybe an add-on for draw.io would be enough to realise it, since it supports svg files.

Hi @JJger148, I think draw.io already supports the import of GraphML files. So you can actually use Argdown's GraphML export to further customize your graph in draw.io. You may also be interested in how to customize your map in yEd as this is a similar workflow.

With a little more effort you can also export your map to the .dot format (Graphviz) and then convert the Graphviz file to a draw.io graph with this tool: https://github.com/hbmartin/graphviz2drawio (I have not tried this out, but it should work).

The only downside is that this is a one-way-street: You can not convert your map back to Argdown after working in draw.io.
