Hi Victor, Thanks for the reply! Yes, I tried out PlantUML (nice sequence diagram, btw). I don't know if it is still that way, but it used to be that the drawing was pushed to an internet server for processing. I'm more interested in something which is self-contained, especially since some of my diagrams could be considered sensitive, but in general I like self-contained solutions. Some others which I have tried out are: * Mermaid * Graphviz * Railroad * Tidgraph * edit in an external tool, render, and import the SVG (usually yEd)
