I noticed the node so I included the link to the picture. Didn't really check the feature out. For diagrams and flowcharts I use Dia. You can find it in the Trisquel repositories. In Dia, you need to put objects and connect them, so I imagine that is not exactly what you are looking for.

It really is sickening when schools not only encourage, but require use of nonfree software. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, students encourage it in the name of using technology or something similar. Requiring use of Times New Roman is one of the smaller offenses.
