I'm looking for an diagram tool for producing diagrams from text. I only really need sequence and state type diagrams for now, but I'm curious as to what people would recommend? I need something which is standalone, not a web based tool that works on Linux, OSX and Windows.

Go to app.diagrams.net. Click Arrange > Insert > Advanced > From Text. From the drop down selector next to the Close button, select Diagram. Select all of the sample text in the dialog and paste in your own text.
For full syntax of the text file, see: http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/index.html 1. Install the extension from Chrome Web Store. 2. Open text file from web server with UML diagram definition in browser (the text starts with @startuml).
I'm not positive what you mean by "producing diagrams from text", but if you mean a tool where diagrams are specified by a text file, Graphviz is good. If you mean something that literally converts ascii art like
+--------+ +-------+ +-------+ | | --+ ditaa +--> | | | Text | +-------+ |diagram| |Document| |!magic!| | | | {d}| | | | | +---+----+ +-------+ +-------+ : ^ | Lots of work | +-------------------------+ to a graphic:
You can try ditaa (that ascii art is from their website, so it's a good example of the input format it expects)
