Existing diagram tools force developers into a false dichotomy between black-box auto-layout engines and rigid pixel grids. Reladraw introduces a relative constraint language where topological placement is declared through explicit spatial relationships without hardcoded coordinates. Built ground-up in TypeScript with zero dependencies, it provides an editable, deterministic representation optimized for both human reasoning and LLM agent manipulation.
