This looks interesting: http://wavedrom.com/tutorial.html

A Javascript application to draw timing diagrams with fairly little effort.

That's lovely! Text in, diagrams out. And lovely curvy arrows for this-causes-that which can really help.

Fantastic! That's how I like to create graphics of any kind: via text. I am unable to use any kind of drawing tool. But I can code it.. in TeX, for example. This is perfect.

A couple more pointers from the Hackaday article:

Quote:
There are other applications out there. Drawtiming looks good, but we can’t quite get our head around the file format and the graphic output isn’t as flexible as we’d like: it only outputs GIF and we’re more into SVG because it can be edited easily after the fact.

There are font-based solutions that let you “type” the timing diagrams. We found Xwave and “Timing Diagram Font“. These work but aren’t particularly flexible; if you want something to happen at odd times, you’re out of luck.


Today they had a new article about sequence diagrams and flowcharts - would be nice if this tool could also do block diagrams. See the in-browser editor here:
http://knsv.github.io/mermaid/live_editor/

There might well be further pointers in the comments to these two articles.

See also our previous discussion on tools for block diagrams:

There are several web sequence diagram tools around. You type in a text description and out spits a diagram. They much easier to use than pixel pushing around boxes and lines. They the type of thing where you're in IRC or on chat, trying to explain something, and you just go "hang on a sec", and, a few seconds later, boom, diagram.
