Penrose looks great. Beautiful diagrams and readable code. What are some other text-driven diagramming languages / tools? I know of: https://mermaid.js.org/ https://graphviz.org/ https://flowchart.fun/

#12Does this require a browser (or browser engine) for rendering (like Mermaid.js)? Or can it render (esp. to SVG) without a browser (like Graphviz)?
Penrose appears to be written in TypeScript, so my assumption is that it needs a browser.

I assume the future is an LLM where you specify everything in plain english...

It looks like the CLI tool (@penrose/roger) just depends on a few npm packages with no browser engine and supports SVG export.

> roger is a command-line tool for generating diagrams from Penrose trios and serving local files to a local editor.

#17Oh, I thought these would be to create spacetime diagrams. As in Penrose Diagrams: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_diagram
For Penrose spacetime diagrams I found xhorizon [1] and einsteinpy [2]

There's a 'spacetime' GH topic: https://github.com/topics/spacetime

#18Thats pretty cool. Ran out of memory on my browser though.

yup but ... right now things are in a bit of a primitive state.
i have tried a lot of stuff with the ChatGPT Wolfram integration and it just fails all kinds of ways. its really cool when it works, but a lot of time it just gets really confused and cannot do basic things like "make that line black instead of red"
