SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps users visualize and organize ideas inside a LogSeq graph by creating and editing whiteboard EDN canvases that support shapes, connectors, portals, and embedded content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create infinite canvas whiteboards stored as EDN with blocks and pages metadata for visual planning within a LogSeq graph.
  • Draw and arrange shapes, lines, text, images, and portal embeddings (live content from pages or blocks) on the canvas.
  • Use cases include diagrams, mind maps, spatial layouts, and knowledge graph visualizations.

Quick Start

Create a new whiteboard by adding a .edn file to the whiteboards/ directory and begin placing shapes, portals, and images.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Logseq whiteboard for visualizing my knowledge graph?

To create a Logseq whiteboard, add an .edn file to the whiteboards directory and define blocks, pages, and shapes to visualize your knowledge graph. This enables diagramming and mind mapping directly within your Logseq environment.

What shape types can I use when building diagrams in a Logseq whiteboard?

Logseq whiteboard EDN canvases support multiple shape types including text, box, line, pencil, image, logseq-portal, youtube, and iframe. You can arrange these elements to build spatial layouts and complex diagrams in your graph.

Can I embed live Logseq pages and blocks into a whiteboard canvas?

Yes, you can embed live content from pages or blocks into a whiteboard canvas using logseq-portal shapes. Portals integrate directly with your graph, allowing you to display and interact with embedded Logseq content visually.

Does the Logseq whiteboard canvas support external media like images and videos?

Yes, Logseq whiteboards support external media by embedding images, YouTube videos, and iframes directly on the canvas. The EDN structure integrates these media elements with page assets for visual planning.

What is the EDN structure used for storing Logseq whiteboard data?

Logseq whiteboards are stored as EDN files featuring a structure with :blocks and :pages metadata. This format defines the infinite canvas layout, shape properties, and portal integrations required to render visual graphs.
