Publisher's description

From Alexander Larsson :

Dia is open-source visual-editing software that can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape. It can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by default, to save space), can export diagrams to a number of formats, including EPS, SVG, XFIG, WMF and PNG, and can print diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages).

Version 0.96.1 includes several bug fixes.

Summary: I was looking for a simple flowchart program. This looks okay. It's safe. I can't really not recommend it except for the fact that it closed unexpectedly on me. It might be good for some people. Seems middle of the road not too technical but has l... read more >>

"Featureless, poor UI, doesn't do what it claims to"

by kunalashar on August 29, 2008

Pros: Free.
Primitive shape capabilities (such as lines and polygons).

Cons: Can't access system clipboard to cut/copy/paste anything.
Poor user interface
No inherent capabilities to produce useful diagrams.
Buggy export capabilities

Summary: Use it only if you don't have MS Paint or any other better software
