An Obsidian community plugin that supercharges the built-in canvas feature with flowchart shapes, node styling, presentations, and graph view integration. It extends the JSON Canvas format with an Advanced JSON Canvas format for extra capabilities.

Use cases

• create flowcharts in obsidian
• turn canvas notes into presentations
• integrate canvas files into obsidian graph view
• style and shape canvas nodes
• export canvas to png or svg
• link a single canvas node from a markdown note

When to choose

• you use Obsidian and want richer canvas features like flowchart shapes and node templates
• you want canvases to appear in the graph view with backlinks and metadata cache support
• you need to present directly from an Obsidian canvas

When to avoid

• you don't use Obsidian.md
• you only need a standalone diagramming tool like draw.io or Excalidraw
• you need a general-purpose presentation app
