WizFlow Flowcharter description
User friendly drawing tool for creating quality flowcharts quickly

WizFlow is a tool for creating flowcharts and similar diagrams. It allows you to work with a single object or a group of objects, drawing boxes or symbols of many shapes and connecting them with lines of various types.

You can enter explanatory text at any location, using a grid that helps you to keep your work symmetrical and aligned. WizFlow handles the hard parts of drawing a flowchart and leaves you free to focus on the layout and appearance.WizFlow Flowcharter is a drawing tool that creates flowcharts.

Wizflow contains extensive features such as full zoom, OLE connectivity for inserting charts in other documents, poster printing, graphics import and export, automatic routing, curves, flow symbols, and much more.

Creates flowcharts and similar block diagrams by letting you stamp any number of predefined shapes on your layout, add a wide variety of text styles, and connect the shapes with smart connecting lines that maintain relationships between shapes.

The focus of this tool is on ease-of-use, speedy results, automation, and quality output. It contains a full set of high-end features as well like full pan and zoom, poster printing, linking diagrams into your documents, several kinds of curves, importing clip-art, and exporting web graphics.

Powerful grid and alignment aids keep your flowchart attractive nad customizable styles and templates let you design your own diagram types.

Here are some key features of "WizFlow Flowcharter":

· Figure symbols are the shapes that define what a figure looks like. The figure symbol gallery contains hundreds of different shapes sorted by functional category. You can add any symbol to a diagram directly from the gallery, or you can use a pre-defined figure style from a template (shown on the left side of the workspace).
· Includes several pre-defined diagram templates such as flowcharts, block diagrams, org charts, computer diagrams, network diagrams, and general purpose diagrams.
· Create your own styles combining the attributes, shapes, colors, and behaviors of your own figures.
· Create custom diagram templates to represent your own diagramming methodologies and to store your custom symbol libraries.
· Full zoom and scrolling capability with dozens of intuitive and convenient features for easy navigation around even the most complex diagrams.
· Flow symbols allow you to create connectors whose path is defined by a repeating pattern of symbols rather than a simple line. Flow symbols are a good way to illustrate special relationships and sequences of events. You can control the shapes, the colors, the size and the spacing of the symbols. Many built-in symbol shapes are included.
· Connectors can have many possible terminators (arrowheads). Many are included in the End Symbol Gallery.
· Snap grid for precise placement. The snap grid can be visible or invisible, enabled or disabled, or customized to different sizes for any diagram.
· Create large multi-page wall posters. Pages can be managed separately or cropped and attached to create a poster.
· Alignment and arrangement tools. In addition to the usual aligning, centering, and spacing features, the program also performs subtle behind-the-scenes steps to help you keep your diagram organized and looking good.
· Copy or export diagrams to other programs such as Microsoft Word with OLE. Simply copy and paste into most any other software, or link and embed into any OLE-enabled program for full control. Export formats include WMF, EMF, BMP, and JPG.
· Import external graphics and clip-art to use in your diagrams. Supports EMF, WMF, BMP, and JPG files.
· Auto-save and Auto-backup. Choose to save backup versions whenever you save a file, or have a backup file saved periodically. Fully programmable.
· Attach / detach figures in "flows". Drop a symbol onto a line and the symbol merges into the flow automatically. (more)
· New diagram wizard lets you select sizes, color schemes, and initial fonts with great convenience. (more)
· Enable "jogs" (also called jumps or crossovers) to clarify line routing. (more)
· Add freeform text labels anywhere on your diagram or add specialty labels described below. You can control text justification, color, point size, font, bold, italic, underline, subscript, superscript, and so on.
· Choose from several curvature options:
Straight connectors consist of straight lines connecting each vertex.
Rounded connectors are straight connectors with the corners rounded off for a smooth appearance. You can control just how round they look.
Curved connectors can follow any smooth curved path you care to define. Curved connectors are defined by placing intuitive control points along the path rather than the more confusing bezier points that other programs use.
Smoothed connectors are a lot like curved connectors except they pass right through each control point for the simplest possible control.
· Flow labels attach to the point where a line meets a symbol and adjust automatically when either the symbol or the line moves.
· Branch labels such as the yes/no conditions in a standard flowchart and similar pre-defined labels can be added very easily. As shown here, adding a yes or no label to a flowchart decision is as simple as clicking on the label button, then clicking the label in place. If you click on the slot where the figure and connector meet, the label will be inserted as a flow label as described above and will lock in place to attach to the figure and connector. You can create labels of your own that work like this as well.
· Line spacing is programmable. Select from many line spacing options.
· Group objects to create larger objects. Features include Group, Ungroup, Ungroup All, and Regroup.
· The New Diagram Wizard makes it easy to select from a range of color schemes and diagram sizes in a single step without the need to create a custom diagram template. It also provides a simple mechanism to change a diagram's font and text size throughout the entire diagram. Use of the wizard is optional and not all diagram templates support color schemes and preset sizes.
· Attach and detach from flows: Easily add and detach figures to and from a "flow". A flow is a sequence of steps in which arrows connect one figure to another. Simply drag a figure ("Process B" here) over the flow connector and drop it into the flow. New connectors will form to accomodate the figure. You can later detach the figure either explicitly or by simply deleting it, and the flow will return to the way it was.
· Containers are useful for showing groupings within diagrams. A container symbol is special because it is designed to have other symbols within its borders, yet not interfere with editing those symbols. You can create and move objects into the container or out of the container without special effort. But when you move, copy, or delete a container, all of the contained objects are moved, copied, or deleted as well. Containers perform some of the same functions as groups, but in a more convenient way. Using a combination of containers and groups you can construct elaborate diagrams that are easy to maintain and re-organize.
