you draw boxes corresponding to components, but a component in C4, is not an actual type. It is more detached from language features and thus can easily be applied to something like Julia. It is higher level than UML and more flexible. Then Something like C4 created by Simon Brown would be better. If you are actually building a whole system/application with users. Personally I find UML is mostly useful for libraries/packages. I often use data flow diagrams, because I want an overview of how data flows through my program. It is a way of thinking.Дepends on the problem you are solving. After all OOP is a paradigm and not a language feature. Conceptually you still have hierarchies of types in Julia with properties and abilities associated with them. Personally I do use UML a lot when writing Julia code. The language you use really should not limit what sort of diagrams you use, because diagrams should be about abstractions and not the details of the language. and Freeplane has been the only one that's not a pain in the ass re usability.I know this is a late reply and probably not relevant for you anymore, but I think it was a good question that others may have an interest in.

I've also been through pretty much all the alternatives on (in both flowcharting + mindmapping categories, plus anything semi-related I can find). So maybe down the track I'll look into generating Freeplane *.mm files too for some of my automatic stuff I have in mind like DB schemas + call graphs. I did look into stuff like UML/Graphviz etc for automatically generating images, but then you can't interactively expand/collapse etc. And it's nice and fast too, pretty much everything is instant.ДЇor stuff that you want to entirely auto-generate: the file format is just XML, so I think there's generators out there for it. That's very important for me, and I don't understand why neither Visio or draw.io have this feature, because it makes them very tedious to use without. profiles you can create that will set a bunch of styling settings with one click/keyboard shortcut. It has lots of options to customize it, including setting your own keyboard shortcuts for pretty much any feature it has.ДЄlso it has 'styles' like MS Word/Excel, i.e. So maybe give Freeplane a go for a while and see how you like it. The easier it is to just chuck stuff in without heaps of tedious fiddling, the more it gets used altogether. I've been swapping between draw.io/visio/freeplane a fair bit over the last 6 months or so, and I'm finding that mind-mapping with Freeplane is working the best for me for most of my content.

It's probably possible (and I spend way too much time fantasizing about making my own software that does it), but I haven't been able to find anything that exists already that gives you the best of both worlds. but it's kinda a contradictory requirement when you also want auto-layout. I've love a little more flexibility like I get with draw.io/Visio. Although there is a feature in Freeplane to link anything-to-anything, but the auto-layout and visual contraints of a mind-map mean that it won't look as nice as a regular more-flexible flowchart that you manually lay out. And each node usually only has one parent. Mind-mapping is a lot more constrained typically, because it's just a big tree of nodes. Visio + draw.ioД®fficient auto-layout + keyboard navigation + editing + show/hide nodes etc, which you get with some mind-mapping software like Freeplane, although even a lot in this category suck at usability, especially all the stupidly expensive web-based ones. Yeah I've been struggling to find something that gives the best of both worlds:ДЇlexible graphic layout of flowcharts, e.g. I prefer paper/whiteboard for collaboration with team mates.

I use diagramming software only, if it needs to look nice or will be kept as part of the documentation and I except people to update the diagram from time to time. Especially not, if you want other people to collaborate in creating the diagram. There is no software that can compete with the ease and flexibility of a pencil and a sheet of square ruled paper. I'm constantly reverting to using pencil/paper or a whiteboard as no software I've found is as efficient and quick. Also does traditional flowcharts, BPMN, etc. There are stencils for other IT related areas too (entity relationship, network, wireframes). They also have a desktop client - not sure if that one is available for Linux.Дraw.io has good support for the most important UML diagrams: For u/Tuckertcs it might be nice to hear, that it works in any browser, therefore should work on Linux without problem.
