Hello,

Great library, unfortunately most elements cannot be resized and there situations where they are too big and others were text cannot be shown since they are too small.

Could it be possible to make all elements resizable ?

Best Regards

Any chance you would be able to provide a version of the shapes that can be used in LucidCharts?

Just wondering if is a good idea to add a template for external database and legends

Hi @maciek365 :-)

I've downloaded the current version of the plugin onto my local hard drive and added the plugin to my locally installed draw.io app.

Draw.io recognizes the plugin, but I can't see the plugin in the toolbox on the left side of the screen and neither I can select the plugin from the the "more shapes..." dialog.

When using your recommended approach, using the web version of draw.io, everything works well but, I would love to use your plugin locally.

I would love to help, if I would know what to change/fix.

Cheers,
Marvin

Hello, I have a proposal to change some things within the project.
Please let me know what you think and if its OK with you we can start a draft PR and create a POC:

Currently
it is hard to maintain the elements and shapes within the project since everything is mashed-up in a single XML file with encoded entries.

Proposal

• Extract the encoded XML entries in a non-encoded format (like using https://jgraph.github.io/drawio-tools/tools/convert.html).
• Extract the SVG path shapes in separate files
• Add js tooling that encodes and combines everything in a final dist (production) version
• Add a pipeline that publishes the dist version

Benefits

• Allows to easily edit and modify existing entities
• Allows to add new shapes easily
• Newcomers can quickly see where things are coming from
• Can improve auto-documentation and probably remove the need to add a .png example to show the shapes

Drawbacks

• Includes some complexity to the project

Thanks for the great C4 library for Drawio.
Is there any chance to add a mobile app container symbol as shown here: https://static.structurizr.com/workspace/76749/diagrams/Containers.png

Noticed that these elements were added to this library: https://github.com/hycomsa/hycom-c4. Possible to add them here as well?
