ADI DataX Overview Library¶

The built-in DataX library provides semantic classes for recreating the hand-authored SVG overview diagrams used in doc-adi/docs/overview. Enable it by passing library="datax" to d2.compile().

import d2

svg = d2.compile(code, library="datax")

Use the DataX library for:

Stack overviews - panels, DataX bands, and layered architecture diagrams
Workflow diagrams - hardware, processor, HDL, driver, and application boxes
Transport diagrams - local, USB, network, and serial backend flows
Trade-off diagrams - positive, warning, muted, and note callouts

Example¶

direction: down

title: ADI DataX Technology Stack { class: datax-title }

stack: Layered architecture {
  class: datax-panel

  datax: ADI DataX {
    class: datax-band
    hdl: Layer 3: HDL / Firmware { class: datax-hdl }
    drivers: Layer 4: Drivers { class: datax-driver }
    libs: Layer 5: Libraries { class: datax-info }
    bindings: Layer 6: Ecosystem Bindings { class: datax-application }
  }

  apps: Layer 7: Applications { class: datax-application-alt }
  hwif: Layer 2: Hardware Interface { class: datax-processor }
  hw: Layer 1: Hardware { class: datax-hardware }

  apps -> datax.bindings -> datax.libs -> datax.drivers -> datax.hdl -> hwif -> hw {
    class: datax-flow
  }
}

Semantic Box Classes¶

Class	Use
`datax-panel`	Outer grouped panel matching the overview SVG surface.
`datax-band`	ADI DataX scope band for layers or subsystems covered by DataX.
`datax-hardware`	Analog hardware, boards, devices, converters, sensors, and instruments.
`datax-hardware-alt`	Alternate hardware or device-under-test blocks.
`datax-processor`	FPGA SoCs, Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers, and host processors.
`datax-hdl`	HDL reference designs, FPGA fabric, firmware, and no-OS blocks.
`datax-driver`	Linux IIO drivers, IIOD, libiio bridge layers, and driver services.
`datax-application`	Bindings, scripts, GUI tools, MATLAB, Python, and custom applications.
`datax-application-alt`	Alternate or top-level application blocks.
`datax-info`	Network, host, library, backend, and explanatory blocks.
`datax-note-box` / `datax-note-warm`	Highlighted notes and warm callouts.
`datax-good` / `datax-warn`	Strengths and weaknesses or positive and warning callouts.
`datax-muted` / `datax-blank`	Neutral or empty grouping blocks.

Typography and Flow Classes¶

Use datax-title, datax-subtitle, datax-panel-label, datax-panel-sublabel, datax-section-label, datax-layer-label, datax-label, and datax-note for text-only labels.

Use datax-flow for standard arrows, datax-flow-dashed for remote or optional links, datax-flow-accent for emphasized transitions, datax-flow-muted for low-emphasis links, and datax-flow-good / datax-flow-warn for positive and warning paths.

Dark Theme¶

The DataX library supports the same dark theme mode as the other libraries:

svg = d2.compile(code, library="datax", theme="dark")
