Welcome to the SimpleDiagrams Super Simple Docs¶

(WARNING : I’m still in the process of writing these docs. So a bunch of sections don’t have any content yet. Email me directly if you’re stuck, daniel@mcquilleninteractive.com.)

This document is my attempt to explain to you how best to use SimpleDiagrams. Actually, you shouldn’t even be here. The user interface should have made it easy to figure out what you wanted to do.

Alas, here you are. But try not to be sad. These docs will get you productive with the app as quickly as possible.

Skip to the Quick Start page if this much help text has already made you cranky.

Quick Start¶

You’ve only got ten minutes, and you’ve got your priorities straight because half of that time is going to be spent on making your coffee just right. Spend the rest of that time here and you’ll get a no frills run-down on how to use SimpleD. Then come back to the other docs when you need more help or want to become a power user, because in the end everyone wants to be a power user.

(Quick start content coming soon! For realio.)

Introduction¶

The last thing you need is one more complicated tool vying for your time and precious brain cycles. SimpleDiagrams wants to help you make the sketches, diagrams and visualizations you need without spending endless hours learning how to use the interface to do what you want.

There’s nothing stopping you from just firing up SimpleD and going to town, help docs be damned.

However, if you’re the cautious and sensitive type (and you’re still reading this so I think you are), you’d probably appreciate a friendly introduction to how SimpleD works and what kinds of neat things you can do with the app. These docs are for you.

You might also be somewhat of a tech geek, and want to figure out how you can twist SimpleD to your own machinations. These docs are also for you, you just have to go farther down the table of contents to find stuff like how libraries are made, how you can create your own SimpleD-ready SVG shapes, etc. etc.

Acknowledgements¶

SimpleD is made by McQuillen Interactive Pty. Ltd., and made possible by a number of open source projects, including:

Making Diagrams¶

Adding Shapes¶

One of the main tasks in creating your diagrams will be moving shapes from the library into your drawing. The basic mechanism for doing this is either dragging and dropping the shape from the library, or double-clicking it, which causes SimpleDiagrams to add a new instance of the shape to the middle of the drawing board.

TIP: Double-click a library shape to add it directly to the middle of the drawing board

Connecting Shapes¶

Once you have some shapes in your diagram, you’ll probably want to connect a few to show relationships. You can use the Line Tool in the Toolbar Line Tool .. image:: /_static/images/line-tool.png. When you select the line tool and then roll over a shape, you’ll see small blue x marks around the shape. These are called Connection Points.

Connection Points indicate where you can attach a line to a shape so that the line remains attached the shape when you reposition or resize the shape later. Below you can see that I rolled over the “Connect me” square with the line tool.

Click on any of the blue x marks and then drag your line to any other shape. That shape’s connection points will now become visible and you can use them to finish your connection.

Templates Panel¶

Templates are cool. Templates help you. This is how.

Use templates to organize things that you find yourself repeating when creating diagrams. You can arrange shapes and text fields just how you want them in a diagram ‘template’ and then you drag that template onto a working diagram every time you need it.

For example, perhaps there’s a certain arrangement of business shapes you use quite often. Or perhaps some text stuff that you put at the top of every diagram. These kinds of things go into a template.

Template Panel¶

Templates libraries are stored in the Templates panel, similar to shapes and backgrounds. In fact, you can export template libraries just like shape and background libraries.

To show the Templates panel, click the “Templates” button, third one down in the right-hand navigation. Or press F3. You should see something like this:

There’s always a “Default Templates” library, which will be empty when you first start. You can add lots of templates to this default library, or create a bunch of different template libraries and put templates in each of those, just like you do with shape or background libraries.

But you can’t delete the Default Templates library, because then you might not know what’s going on and send me an email like “aaahh aaahh help what do I do?” and I’d say “create a new Templates library” and you’d be like “Whaaat? Whaat? Ahhhh I’m in hell...” and so on, and nobody wants that. So you’ll always have a Default Templates library.

Creating a New Template Library¶

To create a new template library, select Libraries > New custom library from the menu, and then enter a new libray name and make sure to set type to “Templates” and not shapes or backgrounds.

_images/template-create-custom-library.jpg

You’ll now see your new library in the Templates panel, ready for some new templates:

Creating a New Template¶

You can create a new template in your library by right- or shift-clicking anywhere in the template library and selecting “Create template”:

Right away, you’ll notice a green bar beneath and to the left of your diagram. This means you’re in Template Mode. Whatever you do in your diagram work area now will be saved to the template you’re creating.

Template Properties¶

Click the “Template Properties” button in that green bar to modify how your template behaves later on when you apply it to one of your diagrams. The options on this panel are pretty self explanatory...

Adding Things to your Template¶

Ok this is where things get interesting. When you edit your template you arrange shapes, text fields and images the way you want them so they’re ready to go when you pull your template into a diagram.

Important note: When you are working with your template, you’ll probably need to switch to the library panel to grab new shapes, or perhaps the search panel to search for a shape. But you’re still working on a template. The green border will remind you of that.

Let’s set up that special UX Reaction Plan that you like to use in a lot of your diagrams...

If you select any shape or text area in your template, you’ll notice a new drop-down selector in the properties window:

This dropdown has three options:

Free: after you drag the template into your diagram, you’ll be able to move this particular item and change it all you want.

Placeholder: after you drag the template into your diagram, you won’t be able to move this particular item, but you will be able to change things like text or color on this particular item.

Fixed: after you drag this template into your diagram, you won’t be able to change anything about this particular item.

For example, you might want to set a text header to Placeholder so you can change the text but not the position.

You can set any item in your template to one of these three settings, and it will behave accordingly when you later drag the template into your diagram.

Here’s how we want our UX Reaction Plan template to work:

_images/template-ux-example-comments.jpg

Click the “DONE” Button in the green bar at the bottom of the screen when you’re done editing your template (you can always edit again later).

You’ll now see your template in your template library, ready to be dragged out whenever you need that UX Reaction Plan.

Remember that when you drag your template into your diagram, each item in that template will behave differently, depending on whether you set it to be Free, Placeholder, or Fixed.

Extras Panel¶

(content coming soon!)

Favorites Panel¶

The favorites panel is a place for you to collect shapes you like to use. Just put the real special ones there. The ones you can’t live without. Otherwise the panel will get too cluttered and that’s not good for anyone.

To add a shape to the favorites panel:

Click the “Shapes” menu button (F1) to go to Shapes panel
Find the shape you want in its library
Right-click it
Select ‘Add to favorites’

(In version 4.1 you’ll be able to drag a shape directly from your document onto this panel.)

Search Panel¶

(content coming soon!)

Quick Search¶

Quick search does exactly that. It gives you a really quick way to search for a shape.

Hit ALT-SPACE anytime and you’ll see the Quick Search popup:

In fact, the only way to show Quick Search is to hit ALT-SPACE. No item in the menu. No button.

It’s almost...mysterious.

When you show the Quick Search window, focus is already set to the search field. Just start typing in the name of a shape, or a tag, and instantly matching shapes in your local libraries start to list out horizontally as you type...

Now, just drag a shape from the panel into your drawing and Quick Search disappears.

Want a bigger selection? If you have a subscription to Simple Diagrams Online Libraries, you can tick the Include Online checkbox and search online as well:

When searching online, you’ll see a bit of extra information like how many shapes are available, and a small link button “Show more” if you want to load the next 50 available shapes.

NOTE: You have to hit RETURN or click the search button at the end of the input field when including Online Libraries.

There you have it. Simple. Mysterious. Quick Search.

Changing Preferences¶

(content coming soon!)

Presentation Mode¶

Sometimes you want to use your SimpleDiagram when you’re explaining something interesting to your friend or colleague. Which is good because that’s what SimpleD is for. However, in this situation the main user interface can get in the way. That’s why there’s “Presentation Mode.”

Presentation mode is a way of launching a separate window that just shows your SimpleDiagram. No user interface. You can use this window when explaining something during a screen recording, or Skype session, etc. It’s a simple view of your diagram, without any toolbars or panels cluttering the space.

Furthermore, there are a few helpful tools that make it easier to talk about the diagram, like a pencil that fades after you’ve used it.

Starting Presentation Mode¶

To start Presentation Mode, select “Start” from the “Presentation” menu.

At this point, two things happen:

A new window appears with your diagram in presentation mode
A special control window appears in the main SimpleDiagrams window

At this point, you can move the presentation window to another screen or make it full screen. Then you can start talking about it to somebody who cares.

Controlling Presentation¶

You can control the presentation window in a few ways.

Presentation Controls dialog in main window
Shortcut keys in presentation window
Hidden control buttons in presentation window

The Presentation Controls window lets you control your document as you talk about it.

You can pick either an arrow pointer (one of three sizes) or the pencil tool.

Use the other controls to toggle screen size, whether forward/backward arrows appear in the presentation window, how much of the diagram area to match and the arrow keys to move between tabs in your document.

Cursor Tool¶

Use this when you just want to point at things while talking. Move around in large circles when you forgot what you were going to say.

Pencil Tool¶

This tool allows you to draw directly on the presentation. You can toggle the “Fade” button here so that your drawing slowly fades away. This is handy if you want to point something out by circling it, but then don’t want that circle to hang around.

_images/presentation-mode-controls-pencil-selected.jpg

Arrows Checkbox¶

Check this box if you want navigation arrows to appear directly in the presentation window.

NOTE: When you select this checkbox, you still won’t see the arrows immediately. You have to hover over the lower left portion of the presentation window to use them. They look like this:

Area Control¶

Use this control to modify how much of your diagram is shown in the presentation window.

Match current : show the portion of the diagram that’s currently viewable in the main SimpleDiagrams window.

Full document : show the entire document, not just what’s currently viewable in the main SimpleDiagrams window.

Control Keys¶

There are a few keyboard shortcuts that you can use when you’re in presentation mode and the presentation window is active (make sure it’s active by clicking in the window before trying these keys).

PC	macOS	Description
Basic Command Shortcuts
V	V	Pointer (cycles through three sizes)
P	P	Pencil

Printing and Exporting¶

(content coming soon!)

Helpers¶

Helper are small things that help you. I call them helpers because I’m not sure what else to call them. They are all found under the View menu and they’ll always be there for you.

Grid¶

The Grid helper just shows a grid behind whatever you’re doing. You can choose to snap objects to it, or just use it for a visual guide (but in that case I think it’s often better to get a background image with a grid pattern exactly as you want it).

Use the grid properties dialog to control things like line color, the size of the cells, whether the grid is in front or behind your stuff, and whether to include it when you export your diagram to another format.

( View > Grid properties )

To show/hide the grid:

MmacOS: cmd-‘

PC: ctrl-‘

To enabled/disable snap to grid:

macOS: cmd-SHIFT-‘

PC: ctrl-SHIFT-‘

Rulers¶

Rulers help you get a sense of position and size. They’re not so powerful yet because you can’t drag out guides, but we’ll get to that eventually. Rules will update their units based on the units you set when you created the document: pixels, feet or meters.

To show/hide rulers:

macOS: cmd-R

PC: ctrl-R

Quick Styles¶

Quick styles is the place for you to save certain stroke and fill styles you’ll be using a lot while working on your diagram. It has six boxes to store six styles:

To load a style into a box, you just eyedrop a shape that has a style you’ll be using a lot. Then, click an empty box in the quick styles dialog. That box will save your style. Whenever you want to use it, just click it with an empty eyedropper.

If you want to change that box later, just drop a new style on it from a full eyedropper.

To show/hide Quick Styles:

macOS: cmd-K

PC: ctrl-K
