Diagram! is OpenStep's leading drawing application for business and technical professionals. Diagram!'s rich feature set and easy-to-use drawing palettes make it ideal for a wide variety of general-purpose drawings--from basic organization charts to business process models (BPR), brainstorm drawings to object-oriented/CASE graphics and database design.

With its revolutionary "drag and drop" approach, Diagram! eliminates the complexity and tedium normally associated with conventional illustration tools. Diagram! also includes user customizable drawing palettes; "rubberbanding" lines and "smart" labels that redraw themselves when the objects they connect are moved; NEXTSTEP Object Linking; and the ability for users to open reports, play sounds, and even launch custom applications from Diagram! drawings.
