Flow direction of decision box

Open commandocoding opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Noticed a flaw in the website sample

  1. Yes should flow right (or left based on language used)
  2. No should flow down

Thanks for the comment. I was unaware of any conventions of the Flowchart element directions. Now from your comment I see there are conventions for such diagrams. Will you please post some links where I can know more about such conventions? Or tell me another similar software or sites which follow the conventions mentioned in the above comment.

This is a very crude version of code as well as diagram conventions committed as initial software. This version needs a lot of improvements on many aspects

  1. Code needs refactoring to make it easy to read, follow and maintain
  2. Adopt a style to generate diagrams and allow for customization later

I am not sure if there is any website with this information, considering the size of it there may be some page, When flow chart was taken very seriously in 1980's all this was part of curriculum, Probably there might be a book on flowchart rules convention in a library waiting for you .

  1. Imagine this as a series of water tanks stack on top of other,
  2. so when water is filled on the top tank it flows down to the tank below,
  3. the YES condition for a decision block is like a tap fitted so if the yes condition is true then the flow forks out
  4. the NO condition of a decision block is the default pipe line flowing down
