You might find the Turtle geometry incorporated with the distribution also
provides a simple tool for what you want, but would need to have an enhanced
set of tools for adding text. It does not provide the rich capabilities for
diagrams in Oleg's interface to Graphviz but is very simple to use.
The release will have an improved script and other material.
It would be very easy to add the shapes you want, and tools to locate text
within them or adjacent to them.

Subject: [Jprogramming] Drawing program in J?
I'm planning to write a drawing program that needs to communicate with J.
Functionally, the programme is intended to be a tool for creating
something
like UML diagrams (boxes, arrows, and some code generation). Actually,
the
form editor seems to have some of the functionality I need.
Ideally I'd like to be able to do it all in J, but it's unclear to me from
the form and openGL documentation how easy this would be. For example,
would I be better off using, say, Tcl/Tk or Perl/Tk for the graphics and
communicating to the JE via sockets?
Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
Ronan
