Write and preview sequence charts with MscGen and its brethren with ctrl-shift-G.

Enabled for .mscgen, .msc, .mscin, .xu, and .msgenny extensions.

Features

• syntax highlighting from the language-mscgen package - so no need to install that separately.
• realtime rendering of your sequence chart
• SVG export - to file or clipboard
• PNG export - to file
• Uses the pure javascript mscgenjs package for parsing and rendering, so apart from MscGen (*.mscgen, *.mscin, *.msc) it supports
  • Xù (*.xu)
    A little language that adds things like alt and loop to MscGen. See the Xù wiki page for more information.
  • MsGenny (*.msgenny)
    Xù with a simplified syntax. And a little less features. The MsGenny wiki page has more information.
• Frictionless conversion MscGen/ Xù <=> MsGenny
  • Check the editor context menu for
    • MsGenny -> MscGen/ Xù,
    • MscGen -> MsGenny and
    • Xù -> MsGenny
  • or use Mscgen Preview: Translate in the command palette.
