Last week, I wrote a blog post about “pikchr/piclasso.” When beginning this project, I also considered additional ideas. One of these was how to convert certain scenarios from https://www.veeam.com/calculators/scenario into images. This aspect is significant because visualizing the layout of components can improve understanding and, as a solution architect, it facilitates presenting information to customers.

I created https://github.com/tdewin/piclasso/blob/main/mergedemo/vscn-to-piclasso.py, a tool that converts vscn files ("export current scenario") into piclasso diagrams. Safe to say that this is not even a BETA but more some ALPHA code or proof-of-concept. You can copy the output manually or use the "--link" option to generate a direct link. On Mac, combine this with the open command to instantly view your content in the browser.
