Matt,
Did you already decide against graphviz? Admittedly it is only
graphs and not "diagrams"... but it's very powerful and there is
art in using a simple tool to make your life complex :)

So, I'm finding more and more that I want to include simple
diagrams in my
course materials. At present I am generating them as svg's using
Inkscape,
but that feels really tiresome to me. I would much rather make
them
programmatically, preferably including the source code as an
org-mode block.
I thought ditaa would be the tool for this, but I cannot figure
out how to
do this work efficiently in ditaa. So for instance, I have this
simple svg
file (attached). It consists of two text-containing symmetrical
rectangles
separated by a bit of whitespace and connected by two curved
arrows (one
pointing from each of the rectangles to the other).
Trying to replicate this in ditaa did not prove easy. Editing
feels
extremely labourious. Am I missing something? Is there a
really good
tutorial somehwere that I'm just not finding? Or is there maybe
another
tool I should be using instead?
Thanks as always,
Matt
