Answer engine FAQ
Diagram and chart conversion questions, answered directly.
Structured Q&A
Can AI convert a diagram image into Mermaid?
Yes. PicStruct can convert readable diagram images into Mermaid drafts by identifying visible nodes, arrows, labels, and relationships. The result should be reviewed before publishing.
Can AI extract data from a chart screenshot?
Yes. PicStruct can extract chart titles, axis labels, series names, categories, and visible or estimated values into CSV or JSON. Clearly printed values are more reliable than values inferred from pixels.
What images work best?
Clear screenshots, exported diagrams, chart images with readable labels, architecture diagrams, process maps, and whiteboard captures work best. Cropped or blurry images reduce output quality.
Which output should I choose?
- Use Mermaid for diagrams, flowcharts, and process maps.
- Use CSV for chart data that needs a spreadsheet.
- Use Markdown for summaries, alt text, and documentation notes.
- Use JSON for machine-readable structure and automation.
