+Dia (diagram creation program)
+
+Dia is inspired by the commercial Windows program 'Visio', though
+more geared towards informal diagrams for casual use. It can be used
+to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special
+objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams,
+flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also
+possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files,
+using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.
