This is ALPHA software. Native drawio files created with these tools should work with any other drawio client, but any UI/API is liable to change at any time.

Installation

pip install ipydrawio ipydrawio-export
# TBD: conda install -c conda-forge ipydrawio

Features

• ipydrawio
  • Edit multi-page documents
    • with nearly the same UI and features as diagrams.net
    • in many file formats
      • Drawio/mxgraph XML, SVG, PNG
      • or Jupyter Notebooks
  • Jupyter rich display output
  • Jupyter Widgets
• ipydrawio-export
  • Export print-quality PDF from diagrams

    • BEWARE: some heavy, maybe fragile dependencies

    • include editable Drawio metadata

Usage

• Try on
  • or follow the Installation instructions and Start JupyterLab
• Import a drawio from diagrams.net with the File Manager
  • or create a new Diagram from the Launcher
• Use the Command Palette to Export Diagram to various formats

PDF: Lab and Server extensions

ipydrawio-export can generate print-quality PDF. This approach relies on a headless browser, powered by @jgraph/draw-image-export2 and ultimately puppeteer which in turn requires nodejs.

• native dependencies as required to appease puppeteer
  • if running in docker, this can be a bit trial-and-error
  • for more, see the binder and CI.
• nodejs>10,<14 from conda or your system package manager
  • NOTE: this relies on being able to install puppeteer (and other arbitrary dependencies with jlpm for now when first used
    • we'll figure out a better approach soon enough
• pip install ipydrawio-export

For example:

conda install -yc conda-forge nodejs=12
pip install ipydrawio-export
