Creating a (RabbitMQ) diagram

Creating a (RabbitMQ) diagram

I need to give a workshop where I have to display a lot of diagrams. For
example something like the added RabbitMQ diagram.
I understood that this would be relatively easy with org-mode. (It does not
have to be as fancy. It is mostly to visualise the functionalities.)

I create my presentation with LaTeX Beamer (what I am also learning at the
moment). So it would be nice if I could generate code that can be included
in LaTeX, but just png-files are also acceptable.

What is the best way to take this on? I need to generate quit a few
diagrams and while I have worked with org-mode, I do not have much
experience with creating graphics.

Or you can do it with Ditaa, http://plantuml.com, others that may be easier to use than TikZ.

  -k.

I tried it out (after a bit of configuring) with the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC plantuml :file groupingComponents.eps :noexport
@startuml

package "Some Group" {
  HTTP - [First Component]
  [Another Component]
}

node "Other Groups" {
  FTP - [Second Component]
  [First Component] --> FTP
}

cloud {
  [Example 1]
}


database "MySql" {
  folder "This is my folder" {
[Folder 3]
  }
  frame "Foo" {
[Frame 4]
  }
}


[Another Component] --> [Example 1]
[Example 1] --> [Folder 3]
[Folder 3] --> [Frame 4]

@enduml
#+END_SRC


It looks a bit different, but I will not worry about it at the moment.

Is it best to save it as eps, or better another format? (When using it with
LaTeX.)

It is not perfect, but for the moment good enough:
#+BEGIN_SRC plantuml :file rabbitMQ.eps :noexport
@startuml

[Producer]

cloud {
  [Internet] as Internet1
}

node RabbitMQ {
  [Exchange]
  [Queue]
}

cloud {
  [Internet] as Internet2
}

[Consumer]


[Producer]  -> [Internet1] : Publish
[Internet1] -> [Exchange]  : Publish
[Exchange]  -> [Queue]     : Route
[Queue]     -> [Internet2] : Consume
[Internet2] -> [Consumer]  : Consume

@enduml
#+END_SRC

I use the following tools within org for eventual export to PDF via
latex: tikz, ditaa, graphviz (dot, neato, ...), & plantuml.  I've even
bee known to use LaTeX's own picture environmnt.  They each have
different advantages and disadvantages but all work well with org in my
opinion.

I would save as PDF, whenever possible.

so think and do I. At the moment I try to consolidate the tools I use
and try to get away with tikz only. I tried to reproduce same diagrams I
created with plantuml. Well, it works. But there are a lot of details in
plantuml's output that you have to do manually with tikz. BTW, I just
discovered that plantuml's pdf output is way different from its LaTeX
output.
