Quick facts
How it works
From idea to finished casual loop diagram
Pick circular-diagram
Choose the circular layout to model feedback and flow relationships.
Select Circular Diagram from chart styles.
Add nodes and flows
Create nodes for key parts and flows for their influences or transfers.
Nodes: Atmosphere, Plants; Flow: Atmosphere → Plants, value 120.
Style for clarity
Enable labels and values, adjust arrow and line widths, set font size.
Turn on Show Labels and Show Flow Values; increase Arrow Size.
Use AI to draft
Describe your system; AI proposes nodes, directions, and initial values.

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.
