I think if we can create a map in our website It will encourage even more conversations.

@Bank_Live, I don’t think there is currently any real integration with [draw.io](http://draw.io) diagrams as in the example you gave.
The Graphviz plugin mentioned may work all right for small diagrams that are simple enough to express in text form. But a lot of the Diagrams/Draw.io items are much more complex.
There was some discussion about an approach many years ago over at:
> [@Embed draw.io diagram in post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embed-draw-io-diagram-in-post/14369):
>
> I like using [draw.io](http://www.draw.io/) for diagramming. It would be nice to aid discussions with diagrams from there using the latest version of the diagram. [Draw.io](http://Draw.io) allows you to embed an editable drawing as an HTML/Javascript snippet, but this doesn’t currently work in a Discourse post. Would creating a onebox file for [draw.io](http://draw.io) be the right approach? Or is this a new feature?
and then a related discussion about using a similar tool, Gliffy:
> [@Images from Gliffy embed not rendering](https://meta.discourse.org/t/images-from-gliffy-embed-not-rendering/82392):
>
> Are there any specific reasons why an image wouldn’t be rendered within a post? Blocking headers… something? I’m trying to embed an image from Gliffy diagramming service. When the digram is updated through Gliffy I want the image updated automatically on the forum. They have an image sharing service for exactly this purpose. It generates the following URL for my test image: [image] Note, it doesn’t render as an image in Discourse. But it does allow you to: link to the ima…
At one point (in that above topic) @mpalmer was interested in building a linkage to [Draw.io](http://Draw.io) but I don’t think anything became of it. I got a request today about this so will be doing some more research on what’s possible. It may be possible to embed an IFRAME from the [Draw.io](http://Draw.io) interface and use that HTML that it generates in your Discourse post.
