But when picking a diagramming framework, users are faced with a dilemma. They can either use a highly expressive but low-level toolkit, whose API does not match their domain-specific concepts, or select a high-level typology, which offers a recognizable vocabulary but supports a limited range of diagrams. To address this gap, we introduce Bluefish: a diagramming framework inspired by component-based user interface (UI) libraries. Bluefish lets users create diagrams using relations: declarative, composable, and extensible diagram fragments that relax the concept of a UI component. Unlike a component, a relation does not have sole ownership over its children nor does it need to fully specify their layout. To render diagrams, Bluefish extends a traditional tree-based scenegraph to a compound graph that captures both hierarchical and adjacent relationships between nodes. To evaluate our system, we construct a diverse example gallery covering many domains including mathematics, physics, computer science, and even cooking. We show that Bluefish's relations are effective declarative primitives for diagrams. Bluefish is open source, and we aim to shape it into both a usable tool and a research platform. diff --git a/imgs/teasers/bluefish.png b/imgs/teasers/bluefish.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..194e786 Binary files /dev/null and b/imgs/teasers/bluefish.png differ diff --git a/imgs/thumbs/bluefish.png b/imgs/thumbs/bluefish.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f58fc84 Binary files /dev/null and b/imgs/thumbs/bluefish.png differ diff --git a/pubs/bluefish.pdf b/pubs/bluefish.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b5c87ce Binary files /dev/null and b/pubs/bluefish.pdf differ
