Dia Diagram Editor

In many situations, a diagram can help you visualize the solution to complex problems, making them easier to tackle. Dia Diagram Editor was created specifically for this purpose. Thanks to its simple design and to its straightforward functionality, drawing a diagram can be done as fast as possible, without any effort. The application provides a good selection of tools, for annotating your diagrams, exporting them and more. The application works on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion and on various Windows platforms as well. It can be installed in a matter of seconds, but you need to have X11 on your Mac, otherwise it won't run.

Dia Diagram Editor comes with a clean and efficient user interface, so you can start drawing your diagrams right away, without spending any time looking for specific options. You can find a vast range of shapes, connectors and other elements on the right side of the interface. Shapes can be inserted and connected, just by selecting them and clicking and dragging in the main editing area.

Although the application comes with countless shapes, you can find the ones you need at a glance. They are very well categorized, based on chart type. You can find shapes for simple flowcharts, UML diagrams, civil engineering drawings and much more. Inserted shapes can be resized and moved at any time by clicking and dragging.

The application's object and grid snapping functions will help you keep your diagrams neat and tidy. Also, if you don't want to move or modify something by accident, you may create layers and continue your work without disturbing any previously inserted shapes.
