hi everybody~! do you guys know tools to draw flow charts? if you know, let me know it. it'd be better to me if the tools could generate souce codes automatically.

Both of the above dongled

sinelaboreRT Doesn't appear to be dongled but I haven't tried it yet.

MS Visio is a fabulous app. Expensive, though.

There is an ideal tool for this, however it requires slight intelligence to operate. Try an HB pencil and a pad of white paper.

[mail]: Chuck F (cbfalconer at maineline dot net) [page]: Try the download section.

Simulink and stateflow, it also generates C source code.

Hmmm, I prefer graph paper with faint lines. A flowcharting template helps, too. :-)

Same description fits Autocad, and code generation is a simple matter of AutoLisp coding, but of coures the generated code can be in any language you like.

It fails to generate code automatically....

It does if you've got the right tools (code monkeys... :-)

Right :-)

OTOH, there is other aspect worth mentioning about the paper and pencil fetishists: before pratical computer graphics programs for creating flow charts the manual approach also required a lot of eraser and tear off of paper as small editing in the diagram was a chore.

Some more crafty used scissors and glue to insert symbols or the use of connectors to other pages. All that wasted a lot of time...

FWIW,

Dia has recently had an upgrade, and allows flow charts, UML, and various domain specific diagram libraries ... like Visio, only free(er) (GPL?).

binaries exist for Windows for those in the OS challenged classes ...
