[IPython-dev] IPython Notebook Diagrams

[Andrew Gibiansky]

That's really cool!

However, I'm looking for a solution such that the diagram code is hidden from the user. This would make it plausible to publish the result as a blog or something along those lines, where the code used to make the diagram is unnecessary, but the diagram itself is.

For very simple diagrams, you might want to take a look at %blockdiag 
magic: 

https://bitbucket.org/vladf/ipython-diags 

It takes a cell containing... 

%%blockdiag 
{ 
a -> b -> c -> d; 
c -> e; 
e -> a; 
} 

and generates a block/sequence/activity diagram using that spec. 

Hope this helps,
