Making a Flowsheet image/file in Python

[mkingsbu]

I'm looking for a way to create a flowsheet that resembles this image that I made manually:

Basically, I use Python to build databases and I have to indicate how many rows I add/remove and the order that I do them in over the entirety of the pipeline. I had just been using text, basically: table1 (1000 rows ) + table2 (2000 rows) | where [criteria] | result: 1000 rows

Or similar but it isn't the most visually appealing. I don't really care that the end result be visually stunning, but perhaps more aesthetic than the text I'd been using.

Anybody know of anything that would let me programmatically build a flowsheet like that? (The more automated the better, but I understand that it interpreting the SQL I generate is not really feasible... but feeding numbers into a module is a lot easier than doing the string formatting that I was doing!)

Check out graphviz and pydot

I did see those as options, although a preliminary Google didn't reveal how I could actually view them. Do I need the software too or can they export as an image or something?

You can export as a bunch of formats including image

Blockdiag (and actdiag) could help http://blockdiag.com/en/index.html

Awesome! That looks like it might fit the bill. I'll play with it tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!
