pikchr-mode

A major mode for the pikchr diagram markup language.

Features

• Syntax highlighting
• Interactive preview: C-c C-c will preview the current region or the current buffer; C-u C-c C-c will preview the current buffer up to and including the current line.
• Evaluating Org code blocks:

  #+begin_src pikchr :file example.svg
  A: box "head" fit
  B: box "tail" fit
  C: box "something" with .sw at A.nw fit wid dist(A.w, B.e)
  #+end_src
  

Known Issues

Pikchr uses heuristics to place text. The default font family and size chosen by Emacs to render the interactive preview might be different from that used by a browser and the alignment might be off (see screenshot above).
