Dear Ali, I'm forwarding your email to the Dia mailing list. There might be others which have some ideas regarding this issue.
To allow proper judgement, I think you should provide both your input data and a sample output diagram, revealing all the complexity you would like to diagram.

I am currently a student at MSc level in computing. For my final project, I have to implement a program which is able to accept CIF files and display SDL-GR diagrams on the screen. I have successfully managed to produce a lexer, parser, Abstract Syntax Tree and a tree walker in java environment. I have written a java test rig which when is run, accepts input CIF text and produces AST then tree walker displays flat version of the tree. Now for the final part of the project, I need some utility that will turn the abstract syntax tree into concrete graphical syntax for SDL. I could embed some java code within tree walker and use java 2D to display the symbols and their connections. However, their coordination and some other issues seems to be a daunting task in my opinion as I do not have great experience of programming and have just one month to the deadline of my project. I have been advised that the Dia tool could be an option for the purpose of my project. Would you suggest the Dia tool? Can I draw SDL diagrams with Dia using command line and writing codes? If yes, would you please give me some advice? Thank you a million time. Best regards, A.
