A replacement for Visio and build on Java. yEd has powerful features especially the export function which can export to Flash, SVG, PDF, Enhanced Windows Meta File (EMF), JPG/GIF/BMP/PNG, EPS and HTML image maps with support for embedding URLs and descriptive tooltips for both nodes and edges.
Official Description
yEd is a very powerful graph editor that can be used to quickly and effectively generate drawings and to apply automatic layouts to a range of different diagrams and networks.
yEd is available as a free download with unrestricted functionality!
yEd makes full use of the yFiles library. This is a Java class library enabling the viewing, editing, optimizing, drawing, and animating of a wide range of diagrams, networks, and other graph-like structures.
yEd has been built using 100% lightweight Swing components. This allows it to run on any platform where a suitable Runtime Environment is available.
Does it only work in Linux or is it available for all three platforms. I prefer software to cloud based / online as long as any platform user can use them. Specially a visio alternative that is web based can be very useful. I know of such tool called Creately an online diagram software with real-time collaboration enabled.
