Flytdiagram

Flytdiagram is a term used to describe a class of diagrams that emphasize navigability and contextual detail within a flow or graph. Because there is no universal standard, its precise meaning varies by project. In many uses, flytdiagrams depict nodes connected by edges, with optional fly-out panels or nested views that reveal additional information for a node without cluttering the main diagram.

Common characteristics include a graph-based structure, support for expandable sub-views, and interactive features in digital implementations. Some flytdiagram tools render diagrams in scalable vector graphics and allow panning and zooming. Descriptions are often stored in a declarative format (such as JSON or a domain-specific language) and exported to common formats like SVG, PNG, or PDF. The style prioritizes readability of complex relationships while enabling detail on demand.

Applications for flytdiagrams span software architecture, data flow diagrams, business process modeling, decision trees, and educational visuals. They are used when a compact overview is desirable but users may need to access deeper context without leaving the diagram or opening separate documents. The term functions as a descriptive label for a diagramming style rather than a fixed methodology, and related tools may vary in syntax and capabilities.
