Color attributes are already in asciio so that would allow one to look more like the output. I don't know yet about the other attribue in ditaa. I have to decided f I support ditaa users, which would be the intelligent thing to do, or simply bypass it, possibly using it to render things but not allow any interaction. There is a new, a year old, asciio that is not released yet. the GTK part has been separated from the rest, which will be re-written when I re-incarnate next, but I am pondering about a curses interface so one could create asciio diagrams directly in a terminal. What do you think about that idea? Drop me a mail, that usually get things done. Hi, I just came back to the land of the living too.

Hi Nadim, We had a slightly disjointed mail conversation in Nov 09 (I went off on holiday in the middle of it I think) but I basically just said what this post and subsequent comments have written in them. Ping me if you add ditaa output to asciio - that would be v cool. Cool site Lewis!

I got a few requests for an Asciio-Ditaa cooperation out of the box and it may make it in a new release.

Link back to this blog post if you like :) Cool, well if you’re going to be just piping stdout into ditaa then you don’t really need it to run ditaa in the background.

I had the text figured out, but the conversion isn't working for me. Simply because I don't have the perl module installed Proc::Background. I've commented that out for now, and will look at installing that later and including it in my directions. Anything special you would like written in the credits section of my How-To? Thanks for that!

Look around line 66 and note the ditaa path is designed to run under windows, so change that bit for Debian, Ubuntu, anything else really.

Basically the change I made was in the save function. At the actual point where it writes out a file based on the extension it just does 3 saves instead. One for .txt, one for the native format and then one which is an exec call to the ditaa binary on the .txt file it wrote out. I'll see if I can fish it out...

He gave me a sneak-peak at the .debs, and with a bit of work (I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and not Debian Sid), I got it installed. I want to write a more expansive how-to on installing this on both Debian and Ubuntu, and also how to make modifications to pipe the output right into Ditaa. I've made the changes as you outlined in your post to the stencils, but not quite sure (without a lot of trial and error) how to do the dual output and the automatic pipping through ditaa. Would you mind staring that piece of code in file.pl with me? I managed to find some one on the Debian team that was in the process of packaging this for sid.
