yEd is a very powerful graph editor that is written entirely in the Java programming language. yEd can be used to quickly and effectively generate drawings and to apply automatic layouts to a range of different diagrams and networks.
You can use yEd to quickly create UML diagrams, flow charts, xmind maps and many other kinds of diagrams, graphs and networks.
Choose from a widerange of highly sophisticated layout algorithms to automatically arrange your diagrams in no time. An intuitive and visually appealing user interface makes creating diagrams fun.
Once you are done with creating a diagram you can save, print or export it to popular formats like WMF, JPEG, GIF, XML, PNG or SVG.
Here are some key features of "yEd":
· Supports working with multiple graphs simultaneously: an arbitrary number of editor windows can be opened to edit graph structures.
· The new Palette tool window provides samples of both predefined as well as user-defined visual representations for nodes and edges. It allows for instant access to a number of graph elements of each kind that have different (visual) characteristics.
· Several theme-based sample collections for graph elements (e.g., for UML) are available.
· Graph files can be opened using a Drag and Drop gesture into the canvas. A new editor window is opened for the graph structure contained in the file.
· Graph elements can be created with a Drag and Drop gesture from the Palette into the canvas.
· Subgraphs can be copied to the system clipboard in EMF vector graphics format or in several graphics formats (JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG), respectively.
· Full support for node types that are defined using SVG vector graphics format.
· Graph files can be opened directly from URLs.
· Includes sample graphs that, for example, present the various layout styles.
· A new layout algorithm provides support for genealogical family trees. Additionally, GEDCOM files, which encode genealogical data, can be imported.
· Browsing graphs is also supported in a full-screen mode featuring new navigation controls.
· New "Modern"-style node representations available in the Palette tool window.
· Group nodes optionally obey a minimum size which is defined by their label.
· Removed "Powered by yFiles" watermarking from the editor windows and from exported documents.
Requirements:
· Java
