## 项目历史与用法

mscgen is Michael McTernan's small Message Sequence Chart renderer and text language. The project page says it parses MSC descriptions and produces PNG, SVG, EPS, or server-side image-map output, with a syntax inspired by Graphviz DOT but simpler because sequence charts do not require general graph layout. It is written in ANSI C, uses the GD graphics library for PNG output, and is licensed under GPLv2.

### 使用方式

Its adoption came through documentation tooling as much as standalone diagram generation. Doxygen 1.5.2 added `\msc` and `\endmsc` support after McTernan experimented with custom Doxygen modifications, letting developers embed MSCs alongside source-code documentation in a way similar to DOT diagrams. The project page also lists packaging for distributions and integrations or extensions for AsciiDoc, Sphinx, LaTeX, Org-mode, TWiki, and JIRA. In practice, mscgen fits the Unix-documentation niche: keep diagrams as reviewable text, render them in builds or docs, and use a smaller tool when Msc-generator's broader GUI and multi-chart feature set is unnecessary.
