    > After that, Graphviz calculates the layout and renders SVG and PNG

    They are amazing at flowcharts, because Mermaid is text based

      Yeah, Mermaid is a good example of the same idea. LLMs are much better at describing a diagram in a text format than actually drawing one.

      The interesting part for me was separating the semantic structure from the layout completely.
