Hi Folks
I'm looking for a tool that I can draw a number of boxes on a canvas, enter text in the boxes and then draw a rat's nest of connecting lines between them. Easy enough so far, but I also want to be able to drag these boxes complete with text around on the screen and have any interconnecting lines "rubber band". i.e. I don't want to have to redraw the connections each time a box is moved.
Does anyone know of such a program that will run under KDE or even Gnome ??
Regards, Paul.
I believe Dia may be close to what you are looking for, try http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/

Thanks Andrew
I had tried StarOffice, but it is slow and cumbersome. Dia looks to be ideal for what I need - Producing some flow diagrams for some source code I'm trying to decipher. If only I was fluent in C/C++.
Best bit about it, I found the package on my RH CD. That reminds me, was someone still after a set of RH7.2 disks - I've got the latest copy instead of the beta set.

Hi Paul,

Yeah - S.O. is great but a bit bloated. Apparently 6.0 (when it arrives) is more modular and thus faster ...

Glad to help with any C/C++ that escapes you. I didn't know about Dia until now, will have a look into. Cheers Earl
