Block Diagrams Documentation

Overview​

Block diagrams are a clear and efficient way to show complex systems, processes, or architectures visually. They use blocks to represent key components or functions, and connectors to show how these components interact or flow together. This approach is useful in fields like engineering, software development, and process management.

Block diagrams give you a high-level view of a system, making it easier to understand and analyze without getting lost in details. They simplify complex systems and show the overall structure and how components interact.

In Mermaid flowcharts, automatic layout can sometimes move shapes to unwanted positions. Block diagrams solve this problem by giving you full control over where to place shapes.

Code​

block-beta
columns 1
  db(("DB"))
  blockArrowId6<[" "]>(down)
  block:ID
    A
    B["A wide one in the middle"]
    C
  end
  space
  D
  ID --> D
  C --> D
  style B fill:#969,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px
