Description

Excerpt

The Flowchart Macro creates diagrams composed of shapes joined by lines

 using the Graphviz language. This language is extremely versatile and powerful, but you can start with a really simple example as shown below, and then gradually improve your knowledge and create more advanced diagrams easily.

A flowchart is a special case of a directed graph (see Digraph Macromacro), but with special defaults taken to be more appealing in the context of a Confluence page. Specifically, it uses the following graphviz options:

No Format
edge [arrowsize=0.8]; node [shape=rect, style=filled, fillcolor=lightyellow, fontname="Verdana", fontsize=9];
