A few diagrams.net (formerly draw.io, see below why) that made me more productive with it

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/09

Diagram.net is a wonderful on-line and off-line drawing tool that saves drawings in XML format and provides a rich set of shapes libraries.

It used to start out as draw.io (well, actually diagram.ly when some parts were still Java applets), but then in 2020 started migrating to migrate to diagrams.net, both for domain and name, because, well a [Wayback/Archive] wonderful piece of modern day British Imperialism. See [Wayback/Archive] Blog – Open source diagramming is moving to diagrams.net, slowly for details.

Oh yes, this is one of the tools where Java and JavaScript actually are related (:

The tool is still open source at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – jgraph/drawio: Source to app.diagrams.net.

draw.io Floorplan stencils – draw.io

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/20

I needed a way to draw floor plans.

PowerPoint solutions were to cumbersome, but then I remembered draw.io: it has [WayBack] draw.io Floorplan stencils – draw.io

Have you tried the floorplan stencils in draw.io? You can open the library directly by using the libs parameter, www.draw.io/?libs=floorplan. Or, you can enable them in your library section by clicking “more shapes” (bottom right) and ticking “floorplans”, then apply:

I configured draw.io to show measurements in points, then took 100 points per meter as scale.

At first I most of my measurements were wrong because the I thought the “fat” grid lines were every 50 points. They are not:

  • Light grid lines are 10 points
  • Fat grid lines are 40 points
  • Ruler has small marks every 10 points
  • Ruler has large marks every 50 points
  • Ruler has numbers every 100 points

How confusing!

  1. context menu
  2. clear all

Getting rid of trailing line-endings in the draw.io web interface

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/03

One of the things that bugged me for a long time is that every now and then for some shapes, when editing their text, the draw.io web interface puts in trailing line feeds after the text, messing up layout.

The easiest way to work around it is by searching inside the diagram XML for
", then replacing that with a ".

(the above code got screwed by WordPress.com saving it, so the search is in this small gist below)

This behaviour is intermittent on the drawio MacOS desktop app.
