Lighthouse has a new layout. Prefer the old one? Return to the old layout, and switch back any time from the link at the top of each page.

ascii workflows

#124

It seems possible to write out an ascii graphic for simple joins:


[1]-o-[1]-o-[1]-o-[1]-o-[1]-+-[1]-?-[1]
          |-[1]   [1]-o [1]-+     |-[1]
          `-[1]   [1]-o [1]-+     `-[1]
  seq       fork  merge sync_merge  switch

I think the best approach would be to work through the graph as a 2-D array assigning a number for the character that goes in it. You would need to correct for the number of characters in the name of each task.

    Something similar in audit output is possible in theory, but not really recommended
