Legend

Open pltrdy-spash opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Hi,

Thanks for this great package!

Where could I find a legend i.e. a list of shapes/arrows and there meaning? I could not find which standard notation does this package follows. I would be interesting to also add the legend in the output image (only listing what's present on the diagram)

Thanks

Hi @pltrdy-spash,

The notation we use is called "Crow's foot notation"—it's one of the common notations used by entity relationship diagrams. The notation is currently documented on the "Customizing Diagrams" page, but this question prompts me to think that it should maybe be documented in a more clear place.

Interesting suggestion about a legend. I'll keep this issue open to track the idea.

Thanks for quick answer, very clear!

Adding it in Github/website home page would make sense to me e.g. below the diagram image for example.
