Sup Forums, what tool do you use to draw graphs and diagrams?
I personally enjoy draw.io
Is there some hidden gem that I am unaware of? I've tried Visual Paradigm, but I wasn't very fond of it.

GIMP works for graph drawing?
How?

tikz

PlantUML

Tikz is pretty good for standard trees but I've always found it pretty lacking in terms of customization.
Brandon Sullivan
Matlab
Samuel Kelly
Dia
Michael Collins
Dia is what they recommended at my university, but I've found it far inferior to draw.io.
Levi Roberts
libreoffice draw, inkscape
Jeremiah Sanders
I use inkscape
Pic related, over 9000 hours in inkscape. Wish I had something better
Andrew Thomas
That seems like something easy to make in draw.io
What are the main advantages of inkscape?
Luke Phillips
Well,
1. I have it installed
2. it doesn't require a shitty web interface to use.
That alone is enough for me to use it over draw.io
Levi James
draw.io has a desktop client though.
Colton Morgan
Well it's not in my repos. Based on this, and the fact that the screenshot looks disgustingly ugly, I'm going to assume this is proprietary software - in which case no thanks, but I'll stick to inkscape.

yED
Camden Robinson
It's a chrome webapp.
Jack Wood
umlet
It gets the job done quick and easy.
I don't really need more than it provides.
Benjamin Campbell
I don't draw diagrams very often, but I used Tikz within LaTeX a few times in university.
Cameron Wood
I've never heard of this one
David Bennett
yEd is pretty cool.
Nathan Watson
It's GPLv3 apparently
James Gonzalez
Visio and Graphviz
Josiah Murphy
Yes is the best one, mindscape is good for certain things
Kevin Adams
What's yed?

How about you google your way back to facebook, friend?
Landon Jackson
Does it work fully offline and is it free as in beer?
Lucas Sanchez
xfig
umlet is also nice if you need UML
Parker Bell
it's still JS garbage
I bet you use Atom too
David Stewart
Yes. All features work 100% offline, except viewing a diagram exported to HTML, as that makes use of a webviewer.
Josiah Fisher
>It's still JS garbage
Being too dumb to use Node.js is not a crime, user. I forgive you.
William Adams
node is even worse than the usual js shit
whoever thought it would be a good idea to have server-side JS should be shot
Juan Turner
Visual Paradigm is ok, definitely a good piece of software. My problem with UML in general is that is nearly impossible to design a good system without actually writing the code. And when you start writing it you suddenly stop giving a shit about constantly updating the UML every time you make a change so it quickly becomes stale. Good tool to boost team efficiency, but in my experience it seriously hinders your progress when working alone

>hidden gem
You took a wrong turn somewhere.
Joshua Morales
Yeah, keep using Java like the cuck you are.
Eli Jenkins
>implying I use Java
Although even Java is better since it's not retarded dynamic weak typing shit, not limited to a single thread, and doesn't have ridiculously awful error handling.
Tyler Torres
HTML files can be open offline and will work fine unless they have online dependencies, which I doubt a simple diagram would have.
Wyatt Foster
Like I said: saving a diagram as HTML actually just saves a HTML file with an iframe in it that loads the draw.io web viewer to show the actual diagram from the saved XML.
Landon Wilson
I use Draw.io, Lucid Chart, and Easely for my diagramming.
Lucid Chart is the best of them, but I have the Pro subscription. If you want free Draw.io is the way to go.
