Open, edit, and manage diagram data. Create custom drawings and manage chart data to structure the information and present it visually. Access the toolset for the manual adjustment of parameters or import external data for automated analysis and structure generation.
yEd Graph Editor is a powerful yet easy to use application which is written entirely in the Java programming language and allows you to quickly and effectively generate drawings and apply automatic layouts to a range of different diagrams and networks. This incredible application makes full use of the yFiles library which enables you to view, edit, optimize, draw and animate a wide range of diagrams, networks, and other graph-like structures. What is more, the program features a very simple and intuitive user interface which does not need any technical knowledge to be operated and makes this task a breeze. In addition to this the program supports working with multiple graphs simultaneously and node types that are defined using SVG vector graphics format. The new Palette tool window provides samples of both predefined as well as user-defined visual representations for nodes and edges which allows for instant access to a number of graph elements of each kind that have different (visual) characteristics. All in all, if you are looking for a really comprehensive editing and creation software, yEd Graph Editor is perfect for you.
v3.1 [Jul 27, 2008]
New Features
Added a new edge routing algorithm that can generate orthogonal edge paths as well as octilinear edge paths. The new octilinear style is a variation of the orthogonal edge routing style where diagonal transitions connect the horizontal and vertical segments of an edge.
Added support for octilinear edge paths to the hierarchical layout algorithm.
New configuration support in the properties table/properties dialog for preferred placement options and preferred rotation behavior for edge labels.
Introduced a new edge split gesture where a node dragged from the palette and dropped onto an edge in the canvas automatically splits the edge in two and inserts the node as an intermediate stop connecting the two edges. [Q&A 123]
Added support for scrolling the canvas using the mouse wheel. [Q&A 596]
Improvements
Enhanced the printing dialog with support for adding a footer to the print-out of a diagram.
Enhanced the printing dialog with an option to place the header/footer on each page of the print-out of a diagram.
The resizing behavior of nodes in a diagram when changing their width/height in the properties dialog/table is now configurable in the Preferences dialog. Options include resizing from upper left corner and resizing from center.
A new option in the Preferences dialog configures automatic 'fit content' behavior after resizing the canvas.
The Mac installer file is now properly recognized by Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to come from a trusted source. [Q&A 1487]
Bugfixes
Lots of minor bug fixes and improvements.
