Dia - gpl diagram freeware

[kline]

If anyone is looking for a free program for doing diagrams, look no further,
this is a *fantastic* program!

"Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program 'Visio'. It
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 simple circuits. 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 EPS or SVG formats and can print
diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages)."

It uses GTK and the interface is very similar to GIMP...anyone who uses the
latter will find the learning curve for Dia quite minimal.

anyway, gush over, find more info here:
