Is it possible to visualize PlantUML? I tried to paste some but it wasn’t very easy on mobile.
I tried TALA and am surprised to learn it embeds a machine learning model. I settled on ELK (very complex and time consuming to get right), before getting interested in constraint based graph layout (mostly for aligning nodes). Symmetry is nice to have too.
In fact what I'm trying to do is generating beautiful flow graph illustrations like this (non-sensical, just to give you a vibe):

Tis hard. Graph layout (bites fist). Layout based image diffusion (tears). One day though.
