shaky v0.15.0

shaky

Shaky is a awesome shaky box-and-lines ASCII art diagramming tool. You can generate the diagram from ASCII. All code are compiled from coffee script which port from moe-js.

Dependencies

Because shaky uses node-canvas to draw the diagram, we need to install some dependencies for node-canvas. This page introduces many installations in different system. You can follow these manuals and start to install!

Install

npm install -g shaky

Usage

shaky -i ascii.txt -o diagram.png

Notice: The program only supports the png file extension.

If you want to write ascii.txt file, the following content will be a good example.
