You might want to check out texmacs, xfig. xfig produces nice .fig which which can be exported to .ps and then be included in your latex files. With texmacs, you can typeset the documents (just like latex) and it comes with its own diagram drawing tools. If you have some greek symbols, superscripts, subscripts in your diagram, then I am pretty sure you will be much more better off with texmacs than dia, xfig. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
