Diagram-as-code to shape
Marcus Nätteldal
While evaluating eraser.io I found myself using DiagramGPT to get a startingpoint (which is awesome) and then wanting to move the shapes around or add some to a different figure.
I'm lacking the option to convert the DaC to shapes and vice versa which would've been awesome.

It would be quite a good feature. Check out what https://stately.ai does to persist the layout data into code, they're using comments and base64 encoded serialized layout data. We can have a special token in the diagram as code to support it.

I also have a rather complicated flow-diagram use-case (derived from DiagramGPT actually), where a process runs in an U-shape from an origin, through some stages at other participants and then returns to the origin. Today this looks rather ugly with DaC...
Thus I would like to reposition the elements of the diagram manually, after describing the diagram. Maybe this could be done by switching auto-layout off for all elements that have been repositioned manually (i.e. have coordinates attached), while new elements (when parsing the code) would still be positioned automatically within the figure. And a right-click option/hotkey that resets an element's position to auto-layout.
