Dia
Dia is a GTK+ based
diagram creation tool.
More specifically, Dia is a tool for making diagrams and
schematic
illustrations for articles, books, documentation, modelling and other
uses, inspired by Visio, but with a simple and intuitive
interface.
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 be scripted using the Python
programming language.
