"it's not simple enough for me"

Graphviz is relatively easy although I admit the documentation often makes it look like starting a fusion reactor. It's got a billion options you can apply if you want things complicated.

However, simple stuff is fairly easy. This is an input file which will generate your example diagram;



You run the thing by saying;



There's also -Tpng and -Tps to get PNG and postscript outputs.

Visio does everything. And plenty of stuff that you would never think of wanting. Trust me.

Do you know how to make it connect 2 lines to one side of one box to one side of another box? And actually connect, not just to a point and it happens to be the same location of the box. I can do that, but moving the box afterwards messes up the lines.

And Katie, I meant by not simple is it doesn't seem to have a graphical user interface which is what I'm going for, since I really want to do it graphically, helps me. Doing it in code, is like doing it on paper, or so it seems to me.

EDIT: actually scratch that, rather than 2 lines, just any amount of lines would be better.

Wow, Actually xminds seems best out of all the suggested, though it requires a bit of work to be how I want it, it does allow for multiple paths between objects.

EDIT: Well, what do you know...... I was wrong about visio.... I can add connection points to shapes. It doesn't do well with automatic adding of shapes but it's working... not the best it can be but it'll do.
