Even so, Dia's user experience (UX) feels unusual. The bug tracker on the project's website is disabled, but bug reports are accepted on GNOME Bugzilla.ĭia has complete support for making flowcharts-appropriate symbols, connectors, lots of connection points on objects, annotation for objects, etc.
It includes information on related utilities versions for Linux, Windows, and MacOS a lot of stuff related to shapes and much more. The installation process dragged in a few other packages, including: dia-common, dia-shapes, gsfonts-x11, libpython-stdlib, python, python-cairo, and python-gobject2.ĭia's documentation is quite thorough and available in English, German, French, Polish, and Basque. It offers some additional components, such as dia-rib-network for network diagrams and dia2cod for converting UML to code. I reviewed Dia 0.97.3 from the Ubuntu 18.04 repository you can download it here.ĭia is a standalone drawing tool. I'll share a bit of information about each below. I identified the following nine candidates: Candidate name It's been over four years since Máirin Duffy reviewed Linux diagramming tools, so I decided to take a look at what's out there now for open source flowchart makers. Even so, I would prefer to find an open source tool-preferably a standalone app, rather than one that's part of another suite-that offers great support for flowcharts and is available on all the desktops our team uses. However, we're increasing our use of G Suite in part because it minimizes distractions related to our various desktop environments. I work primarily in my Linux desktop environment, and most of my office colleagues use Windows. My project methodology flowcharts are high-level and pretty straightforward-typically they contain just process, decision, and terminator objects-though they can be composed of many tens of these objects. My team at work uses them as a tool in our brainstorming sessions and-once the ideation event wraps up-the flowchart becomes the project methodology (at least until someone changes it).
