This is PNG was exported from Inkscape. I created it manually and used the connector tool to link tables.

I find the plain SVG for this diagram more complicated than I was expecting so would like to know if there are simpler graphic languages or specifications for this task?

I would like to write something using Python.

Here's the pastebin: SVG for database diagram

  • $\begingroup$ What exactly are you looking for here? This looks like Dot-graph territory, not API territory. Obviously, since Dot is just a text file, you can write it with any programming language. Are you looking for a program to create such things or a programmatic way to generate such an image? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not about computer graphics. I'm am not sure what would be a good place on SE to ask it though. Also, as Nicol points out, it need to be better formulated. $\endgroup$

Graphviz is a popular tool for making network diagrams. It takes a text format ("DOT language") describing the nodes and edges as input, and can render the resulting diagram to SVG or other image formats.
