Software for Making Company Diagrams?
gaudenz asks: "We have a network with Linux, Solaris, Mac and Windows and need a software to paint simple diagrams, such as used in deployment. The actual requirements are simple: The tool must export to postscript, support fonts, boxes with multiple lines of text, and connections between these boxes. We found Visio with VMWare to be the best solution, JGraphpad 5 looks promising, too. Since diagrams are a common thing in development companies I was hoping others have made a comparison, too, and may come up with some other ideas to solve this problem."
I was going to say that I knew of none that included libraries with such important symbols as "Man with head inserted in anus" and "The whipmaster". However, it seems you only need an application that has computer and network symbols, so you have your pick of several.
Of course, they won't be able to do managerial or organizational charts...
Be a real man and hand-code your own postscript graphics. It's really not that difficult. Really.
