code visualization

It's exhausting trying to hold the code structure in my head.
I've noticed people using flow charts to describe github.
Of the open source + cross platform programs available,
I like pencil and LibreOffice Draw.
I like the fact that pencil is on github, and that it can be a standalone program or a firefox plugin.

My idea is to create a repository (LibreCAD/charts) where we can collect files like:



This way we can easily make corrections or updates to the source charts;
and we can use the PNG files on the wiki.

How I imagine the repo:

The Qt Graphics View Framework seems ideal for flow charts;
and I found http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-graphicsview-diagramscene-example.html

I'm going to use it as a foundation for an open source project.
Check out https://github.com/floji/floji if you are interested.

I decided to start from scratch,
because I was going to rewrite 90% of that example anyhow.

It's too bad Ries says the Graphics View Framework has zoom issues.
It has so much potential for CAD...

I think this has a lot of potential.
