Change style from rough to something cleaner

[fchartier]

Hello,

I'd like to generate the graphs with something cleaner (regular lines, simple colors) than the rough package. It would make the reading easier, especially when printed. Is it possible to not use the rough package (use viz-lite directly ?) or to replace it with something else ?

Hey,

I did exactly that here: https://gaetancollaud.github.io/kafka-streams-viz/

I can make a PR if @zz85 is interested in this change, but I guess the roughness was on purpose.

Cheers.

I finally decided to come up with my own implementation based on what's present in Quarkus framework: https://gaetancollaud.github.io/kafka-streams-visualization/

Hello,

I haven't tried your new implementation yet, but the previous one is a less rough, yes. I'm sure the roughness was on purpose indeed (to give a hand drawn effect), but when you try to print it, or a very large topology, the effect is rather marred and make the reading more difficult. I'm not familiar with Quarkus, what is it ?

Cheers,
François

Yeah same here...

https://quarkus.io/ they have a kafka streams extension that provides print the topology as image.

In my app you have examples (buttons at the bottom). The second topology is pretty big.
