Depends, what kind of images you are talking about. If they are data based (graphs, ...) I use R or GRASS (spatial data, GIS). For non-data driven images, I use tikz (conceptual models) or PlantUML [[http://plantuml.com/]] for different kinds of diagrams (uml, ...). Thank there is obviously Inkscape and Scribus and GIMP as well. Cheers, Rainer > > LB > -- Rainer M. Krug email: Rainer<at>krugs<dot>de PGP: 0x0F52F982
