Summary

That was all for this chapter. You have learned how to set up a flowchart so that it renders in the direction you wish, as well as how to add comments to a flowchart or any Mermaid diagram. Furthermore, you learned about the different shapes you can use in a flowchart and the meaning of those shapes. You also know which shapes do not have any standardized meaning but can be used in Mermaid anyway. You then learned how to add edges and the different types that are available. You ventured deeper into this topic and studied how to change the thickness of edges, as well as their length. After that, you looked at subgraphs and learned what they are and how they can be used. Then, you learned how to apply styling to specific nodes or edges in a flowchart. Finally, you learned how to modify a theme so that it only applies to flowcharts by using flowchart-specific theme variables.

We hope all this knowledge about flowcharts has sparked your curiosity about other types of diagrams...
