"A picture is worth a thousand words ", sometimes it is hard to express myself clearly when trying to write down customer's requirement. A graph comes very handy. it is especially true when i am dealing with work flows. i used to keep a different word file for the project requirement, but it is still annoying to switch between IDE and the Word the best solution for me would be to embed the user requirement direct into the comment portion of my code, so that whenever i open the IDE i can see what is the requirement but manipulating Graphs-alike ASCII codes are pain in arse then i turned to google search for a suitable tool, but to my surprise, there is none! then i come up with my own program to deal with it the best part of it is you do not need to keep a 3rd party file format, like .doc, .uml etc you just copy and paste for any text file, then there u go Download the attached AsciiGraph.jar file, it is a java program, normally you should be able to open it by double clicking, or you can type the command "java -jar PATH_TO_UR_DOWNLOAD\AsciiGraph.jar" There is a brief Help menu about the instructions You can open/save any text file the source tab is for copy-paste |
