RAG Pipeline — Reladraw template

RAG 检索增强生成. Copy the source, paste into the official playground, done. No coordinates — every position is stated relative to something else.

node chunk "Chunking"  below docs
node embed "Embedding model"  below chunk
node vectordb "Vector DB"  below embed
node query "User query"  right of embed
node retrieve "Retriever"  below query

How to use

  1. Open the Reladraw playground
  2. Paste the source above — the diagram re-solves live
  3. Export SVG from the playground, or render locally: npx reladraw rag-pipeline.reladraw -o out.svg

When to use this template

Documents chunked and embedded into a vector store; queries retrieve top-k context into the LLM.. Use it to explain retrieval-augmented generation to both engineers and stakeholders — the two-column shape separates indexing from querying.

How to customize

  1. Add a step or node. Insert one line: node new_id 'New label' below anchor — placement is relative, so the solver re-flows the whole diagram instantly.
  2. Relabel an edge. Edit the text after the arrow: edge a -> b 'your label' — labels are the fastest way to carry rates, protocols or percentages.
  3. Change reading order. Swap a placement word: below to right of rotates a branch sideways without touching any other line.

FAQ

How do I draw this in Reladraw?

Declare each box with node, connect them with edge, and state one position per node relative to another. Paste the source from this page into the official playground and it renders immediately.

Can I use this template commercially?

Yes — the source is free to copy, modify and ship in docs, READMEs, books or client decks. No attribution required.

How do I export an image?

Render in the playground and export SVG, or run it locally: npx reladraw file.reladraw -o out.svg for CI-friendly builds.
