Draw flow charts, floor plans, network layouts, uml, sketches & illustrations Grapholite is an all-in-one diagrams designer aimed to create all types of business graphics and technical drawings from simple drafts and sketches to complex professional looking documents. Despite the fact that app was designed with tablet devices in mind it contains all features that can be expected from the mature state-of-the-art diagramming solutions: a rich set of built-in themes and styles, sophisticated connection auto-routing algorithms, dynamic snap grid and integrated spline editor. The unique “sketch” mode allows single-click styling of any figure as if it is sketched by hand. You can create basic shapes and connections very quickly thanks to the freehand drawing recognition. For complex drawings, there are hundreds of ready-to-use stencils on the toolbox that can be easily dragged to the canvas. Most of these stencils are not just static images, but complex objects with plenty of properties setting up their appearance and behavior in the designer. Grapholite can be used for: • Flow charts; • Swimlanes; • Organizational charts; • Uml diagrams; • Web site structures and wireframes; • Application’s interface sketches (ui mockups); • Computer network layouts (including Cisco networks); • Floor plans (office layouts, building plans, home plans etc.); • Business process models (both bpmn 1.2 and bpmn 2.0 notations are supported); • Mind maps and brainstorming diagrams; • Venn charts and set charts; • Data flow diagrams; • Process flow diagrams; • Workflows; • Chevron and circular diagrams; • Swot analysis; • Scientific illustrations; • Graphs, algorithms, schemes; • Planograms; • Infographics. The app provides a unique set of shape behaviors for each diagram type. For example, windows and doors will automatically connect to walls in floor plans; shapes support automatic layout of children and collapsing\expanding of the hierarchy levels in org charts and mind maps. Connections auto-routing logic also depends on the diagram type. Objects tree pane allows you to inspect, select, lock and hide all visual objects.
