Generate hierarchical radio frequency charts for your Arma 3 MILSIM unit from a JSON file.
- Input a nested JSON structure representing nets, squads, and fireteams
- Automatically generates a hierarchical chart image (PNG, SVG, PDF)
- Color-coded squads and their fireteams for easy visualization
- Lightweight CLI tool with no external dependencies except Graphviz
- Ready for future extension to web app or other input formats

macOS:
brew install graphviz
-
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install graphviz
2. Install radiochart
pip install radiochartradiochart --input net_structure.json --output chart.png{
"Company Net (CH 1)": {
"Platoon Net (CH 2)": {
"Alpha Squad (CH 3)": {
"Alpha Squad Fireteam 1 (CH 31)": {},
"Alpha Squad Fireteam 2 (CH 32)": {}
},
"Bravo Squad (CH 4)": {
"Bravo Squad Fireteam 1 (CH 41)": {},
"Bravo Squad Fireteam 2 (CH 42)": {}
},
"Charlie Squad (CH 5)": {
"Charlie Squad Fireteam 1 (CH 51)": {},
"Charlie Squad Fireteam 2 (CH 52)": {}
},
"Whiskey Squad (CH 6)": {
"Whiskey Squad Fireteam 1 (CH 61)": {},
"Whiskey Squad Fireteam 2 (CH 62)": {}
}
},
"Enablers (CH 7)": {},
