Gliffynator

make gliffy diagrams in ruby!

simple DSL

diagram = Gliffynator::Diagram.new do
  add_arrow 50, 50, 100, :right, "Some Text"
end

diagram.render

or

diagram = Gliffynator::Diagram.new
diagram.add_arrow 50, 50, 100, :right, "Some Text"

diagram.render

the DSL will keep track of some basic housekeeping, like unique IDs for most objects and their children. If this isn't done, your document may appear correctly until you try and edit it, when moving one thing might cause other side effects!

Usage

you can save a diagram to a file, just make sure it ends in .gliffy

diagram.render "example.gliffy"

or you can get at the raw text (which is just json). this is useful for downloading a file from a Sinatra application, for example

get '/example.gliffy' do
  header 'Content-Type', 'text/plain'
  header 'Content-Disposition', 'attachment'
  body diagram.render
end
