计算机领域中一直存在两种不同的理念并彼此竞争, 可视化与可控化, 或称为所见即所得与所愿即所得. 前者是Windows的典型做法, 而后者是Linux的典型理念. 我却觉得, 若以中国人"惟精惟一, 允执厥中"的观念, 二者皆不可偏废, 取其中间, 所见近所得, 所愿亦可得. 也就是, 尽量直观, 同时提供方便的控制手段. 既考虑直接可读性, 也考虑易处理性, 直接可读性优先, 处理后更美观, 不处理也不很影响可读性.
以markdown为代表的书写格式正是走了这种处于Word与LaTex之间的道路. 对于简单的流程图, ASCIIArt就是所见近所得的, 而pic之类的更易控制. 有了ASCII格式的图后, 可以利用ditta这个Java小工具将其转化为图片, 这样更美观.
虽然网络上也有一些在线的ASCII流程图作图工具, 像我以前推荐过的ASCIIFlow, 但有时候作起复杂的图来还是很不方便, 这时候就可以使用那些更易控制的工具了. 基于JavaScript的流程图工具有不少, 用得较多的是flowchart.js, 详细的请参考网络上的资料吧.
下面是几个具体的示例.
