akavel / ditaa Goto Github PK

dependencies can't be fetched because they reference outdated google code repositories:

package code.google.com/p/graphics-go/graphics: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path
package code.google.com/p/graphics-go/graphics/interp: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path

It would be helpful if one could download prebuilt binaries for the supported platforms somewhere. Maybe this could be automated somehow?

The original supports some command line parameters influencing the rendering style:

-E,--no-separation  Prevents the separation of common edges of
                            shapes.
-r,--round-corners         Causes all corners to be rendered as round
                            corners.
 -s,--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.

It would be nice to have these supported in the go version as well.

In README you link to http://www.ditaa.org which seems to be down for several months. I suggest to link to http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/

Thank you for the port to go! It is very convenient to have a small ditaa executable!

Greetings!

from a quick look, should be fast too (maybe even faster via goroutines or something), and hopefully copes better with the edges than the current ad hoc translated implementation.

I really like this project because it runs independently and is faster than the original. However, because svg output is not supported, I can't use unicode characters, I hope to support svg output.

The latest version of upstream had support svg output.
