FAQ
FAQs
What is a casual loop diagram?
A casual loop diagram shows how parts of a system influence each other in circular feedback loops. Nodes represent parts, and arrows represent direction and strength of influence or flow.
Is a casual loop diagram the same as a causal loop diagram?
Yes—many people say “casual loop diagram,” but the common term is “causal loop diagram.” This tool supports both terms and the same circular-diagram workflow.
How do I show values on flows?
Enable Show Flow Values. You can set numeric values for each arrow and adjust Flow Line Width and Arrow Size to express magnitude visibly.
Can I customize labels and fonts?
Yes. Toggle Show Labels, edit text directly, and adjust Font Size. Use concise labels to keep the loop readable at a glance.
How do I control diagram size?
Use Diagram Radius for overall layout, Node Size for emphasis, and Flow Line Width for visual weight. Preview updates instantly as you edit.
Does it animate loops?
You can enable Animation to draw attention to flow direction. Keep motion subtle so the diagram stays clear during presentations.
Can I export and share my circular diagram?
Yes. Download a high-quality image, share a link, or embed it online so stakeholders can view the latest version.
What’s the best way to start a causal/casual loop diagram?
List key nodes, sketch the main arrows, then add values. Use AI to propose an initial set of nodes and flows, and refine labels for clarity.
When should I use a circular-diagram instead of a pie chart?
Use a circular-diagram to show feedback and influence between nodes. Use a pie chart to show parts of a whole; it doesn’t depict direction or causality.
