Flowchart mode for Inkscape

[Lionel Dricot]

It would be really interesting to have a "flowchart mode" in Inkscape, allowing easy use of a pre-set of shapes and connectors. (see attached screenshot from MS Visio for the example)

It would allow to use inkscape instead of dia and MS Visio.

check this nice tutorial to create flowcharts in inkscape.

maybe this should be converted into a question.

Eduardo > I know this tutorial (and I posted the bug after reading it). What I miss is some predefined shaped that I can connect easily, just like in Dia. People switching from Visio often tell me that it's something they are missing.

I just added a feature request that is similar to this:

I'm not sure if the admin consider this the same topic. In my post I list a specific feature that is desired.
