       This manual page documents briefly the ditaa command.

       DiTAA  is  a  small command-line utility that can convert diagrams drawn using ASCII art ("drawings" that
       contain characters that resemble lines, like | / and -), into proper bitmap graphics.

       DiTAA also uses special markup syntax to increase the possibilities of shapes and  symbols  that  can  be
       rendered.

--help Show summary of options.

       -v,--verbose
              Makes ditaa more verbose.

       -A,--no-antialias
              Turns anti-aliasing off.

       -d,--debug
              Renders the debug grid over the resulting image.

       -E,--no-separation
              Prevents the separation of common edges of shapes.

       -eENCODING, --encodingENCODING
              The encoding of the input file.

       -h,--html
              In  this  case  the  input is an HTML file. The contents of the <preclass="textdiagram"> tags are
              rendered as diagrams and saved in the images directory and a new HTML file is  produced  with  the
              appropriate <img> tags.

       -o,--overwrite
              If  the  filename  of the destination image already exists, an alternative name is chosen.  If the
              overwrite option is selected, the image file is instead overwritten.

       -r,--round-corners
              Causes all corners to be rendered as round corners.

       -sSCALE, --scaleSCALE
              A natural number that determines the size of the rendered image. The units are  fractions  of  the
              default size (2.5 renders 1.5 times bigger than the default).

       -S,--no-shadows
              Turns off the drop-shadow effect.

       -tTABS, --tabsTABS
              Tabs  are normally interpreted as 8 spaces but it is possible to change that using this option. It
              is not advisable to use tabs in your diagrams.
