Hi All, My boss and I are writing an article for publication about the database backed website we made [1]. For this article, I'd like to create some diagrams of the data model and the server setup and things like that. I could do it in Photoshop or xfig, but I'm not real big on graphics anymore and don't really *want* to. I've heard about a program for Gnome called Dia (http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/dia.shtml and http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/dia.html) which seeks to emulate the functionality of the $$$ data modeling program for Windows, Visio (http://www.microsoft.com/office/visio/) which is now owned by Microsoft and part of the Office suite. Does anyone have any exprience with either of these programs (esp. Dia, because Visio costs a lot of money, so it's doubtful I could get it)? I need a compelling reason to get my boss to pursuade the IT support people to let me switch to Linux on my desktop. This *might* be it! Thanks for any input, Luke [1] I work for the University of Minnesota Libraries, www.lib.umn.edu if your curious. It's nothing special from a .com standpoint, but radical from a library standpoint. And no, going to 800x600 was NOT my idea. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
