D2 Diagrams in Inkscape

Overview

D2’s modern diagram language produces cleaner automatic layouts than most tools; this extension renders it straight onto the Inkscape canvas for annotation and journal-grade finishing.

Why it exists

Architecture and pipeline schematics deserve better than dragged boxes — declare them in D2, refine them in vector.

How to install

  1. Open the GitHub repository and follow the README — installation is the standard Inkscape route: copy the extension files into your Inkscape extensions folder.
  2. Restart Inkscape; the extension appears under Extensions in the menu.
  3. Check the README for dependencies (Python packages, API keys, or external binaries where applicable).
When NOT to use this Requires the D2 binary installed; like all text-to-diagram flows, regeneration overwrites hand edits.
Part of a family This is one of nine open-source Inkscape extensions built by The Augmented Scholar to bring code, AI, and text-to-diagram workflows into vector editing. Browse the full set on the resources page.
