arch.extras

Package arch.extras · Version 0.1.0

Generic actors and devices for sketch-level and context diagrams. Gives you everyday kinds that aren’t tied to a backend or cloud vocabulary: user, usergroup, webpage, and a family of devices — laptop, tablet, smartphone (with iphone / android variants), desktop, server, and cloud.

Reach for these when you want recognizable people-and-devices iconography without committing to the formal C4 or backend kinds. Import what the diagram needs, e.g. use user, smartphone from arch.extras.
