Visual Thought 1.4

Visual Thought is a cross-platform diagramming & flowcharting tool for the enterprise that runs on Windows 95/NT and UNIX. It lets you effortlessly create technical and documentation graphics, network diagrams, flowcharts, org charts, software design diagrams (UML, Booch, OMT, Objectory, etc.), circuit & logic diagrams and business and presentation graphics. Choose from a library of drag-and-drop palettes, or create your own with user-definable shapes. Edit your work easily with 100 levels of undo. Publish your diagrams into Word or FrameMaker documents or right onto the Web with GIF and JPEG output and instant clickable imagemaps. Visual Thought moves ideas onto the screen quickly by making it easy for the user to drag-and-drop shapes and make rubberbanding connections between objects. The tool is used by engineers, software developers and technical professionals to draw flowcharts, software diagrams, process and block diagrams, network diagrams, organizational charts, circuit and logic diagrams, and even World Wide Web graphics. It can be used for many applications, including software design (CASE-substitution), flowcharting, circuit and logic diagramming, org charts, network diagrams, training and documentation, and more. Visual Thought was created to serve the needs of enterprise customers, who typically have a heterogeneous mix of machines. It is the only diagramming and flowcharting tool that runs natively on the most popular corporate computing platforms. Documents can be created, edited, and exchanged transparently across all supported platforms. Key Features Optimized for diagramming: This makes Visual Thought very fast to learn, reducing start-up time and easy to use, resulting in a productivity gain. Most CASE tools aren't optimized this way. Flexibility: CASE tools are sometimes excessively rigid in forcing the user to input too much information before giving usable results back. CASE tools also typically don't adapt to multiple or in-house methodologies, whereas Visual Thought can. Flowcharting: Visual Thought provides all the standard flowcharting shapes. Intelligent rubberbanding connections terminate exactly on shape perimeters, no matter how complex the shape. These features, plus a palette customized for drag-and-drop flowcharting, make Visual Thought the only true flowcharting tool available for UNIX. Network Diagramming: A large library of drag-and-drop shapes, intelligent rubberbanding connections, and special "bus" shapes make it easy to draw network diagrams using ring, bus, or star topologies. Organizational Charts: It's easy to create org charts with Visual Thought. The ability to attach sound, images, and arbitrary files to objects means you can annotate your org charts with pictures of people, sound clips, and other info, or even create hierarchical org charts. Circuit and Logic Diagrams: Visual Thought contains palettes of the most common circuit and logic symbols to let you create simple schematics with drag-and-drop drawing. Training Applications: Because Visual Thought lets you attach sounds, images, and arbitrary files to objects (even other Visual Thought documents!), you can easily author multimedia training courseware with image and voice annotation.
