How Diagrams Work
Keywords: SL description
![[Diagram]](../diagrams/19/03e88c6bc442244ab406309e7aab5a5a.png) | Diag.: A taisha variation |
Diagrams make discussing Go much easier. Don't worry, they are quite easy
to use. You may want to click on [Edit] to the left in order to see the way diagrams work.
Diagrams are automatically made available as SGF files - clicking on their graphic will start a download for you.
All diagram lines start with two dollar signs "$$ ".
The first line is the title line - use a short descriptive title.
The diagram itself looks just like you are used from newsgroups or
email discussions:
- a dot "." is an empty intersection, an "O" is a white stone, and an "X" is a black stone.
- a hoshi (star-point) can be inserted by using a comma "," instead of a dot.
- the edge can be marked with one of "|", "+", or "-"
![[Diagram]](../diagrams/46/ff6cbfac3ada6fd61e9da75347cc1e33.png) | Diag.: some simple markup |
You can also include markup:
- to mark with a square:
- square on white stone: "@"
- square on black stone: "#"
- square on empty intersection: "S"
- to mark with a circle:
- circle on white stone: "W"
- circle on black stone: "B"
- circle on empty intersection: "C"
- you can use letters on empty intersections by using the lowercase characters a-z.

- you can use numbers 1-9 and 0 on stones ('0' is used for '10'). By default "1" is a black stone with the color alternating (i.e. 2 is white, 3 is black, 4 is white ....) You can change that behaviour by using "$$W" in the title line: "1" is then a white stone.

If you are in edit-mode and scroll down the window you will see that we have
put two diagrams there for you to copy & paste. Also, there's a quick help
included as well. Any questions left?
HolIgor has made a utility which formats a text diagram such as given by WinMGT to a format suitable for copy-and-pasting into SL.
