[jira] Commented: (DIR-220) Architectural overview
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIR-220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12502899 ]
Alex Karasulu commented on DIR-220:
-----------------------------------
We need a slick diagramming tool for this and perhaps it would be nice to agree on one and use the same tool for consistency across the site. Might not be important but it kind of looks better if the same tool is used for many diagrams. Anybody have some recommendations for the tool to use?

I have to admit that I also mainly use Inkscape for doing pretty diagrams
these days. Inkscape has connectors which follow contours and follow shapes
when moved just like Visio and Dia, and has the benefit of being SVG based
so you can use the vectors in other artwork without exporting bitmaps and
suffering from pixelation upon scaling. It may be just slightly more work
if you have never used it before, but it is pretty easy to make good looking
graphics once you get going.
I have attached a simple diagram that I made in about 2 minutes with
Inkscape.
+1 for Inkscape.

I like inkscape for general graphics. .45 added some really nice features.
There's a uml modeling tool called "Green" (Eclipse Plugin) that looks really easy to work with. Has both forward and reverse engineering for diagramming, so it could read code and generate diagrams.
