a tool for creating PNG files
Hi, I am looking for a tool for creating PNG files on Linux. My target is to create a simple diagam/flowchart file in PNG format, which mostly will use rectangles , arrows,lines, text inside the rectangles, and circles; I am not embedding an image files inside that PNG. The platforms I am working on are : preferably RH9 ; and Fedora 4 as a second alternative. I do not want to create JPEG/gif and convert it. I saw there is a tool named inkscape which seems a good candidate for such a task. http://inkscape.sourceforge.net Does anyone have some experience with it? GIMP seems to heavy for that task. Does anybody have some experience and recommend a tool for this job? Regards, Amir _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Given the desirable content for your PNG files, I think that dia may serve your needs. dia allows you to create diagrams with the geometric features which you mentioned. dia saves files in its own format, but can export to all common graphic file formats, including PNG. --- Omer On Tue, 2005-07-12 at 09:25 +0300, Amir Binyamini wrote: Hi, I am looking for a tool for creating PNG files on Linux.

Dia is a tool for flowcharts that can save the drawings in png format. http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/ On 7/12/05, Amir Binyamini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am looking for a tool for creating PNG files on Linux.

I should also note that there's Kivio, which is the KDE equivalent of dia. So far I've only used dia, so I can't testify for how good Kivio is.
