If you're looking for something on the desktop, SmartDraw works for me.
If you want something to integrate into a web app, there are 2 possibilities
worth mentioning:
- If you only want to auto-create a static diagram from something that's in
a database already, SVG is ideal. The only problem is that people need an
SVG-enabled browser to see it.
- If you want something interactive, this can also be done with SVG, but
Flash is a more suitable tool. We've got something like this in our CMS - we
built a generic diagram editor that can create any type of diagram so long
as it consists of shapes joined by straight lines with various types of
connector shapes, and we use it in the CMS for several purposes - describing
workflow processes, designing relational data models, and visualising
semantic networks (metadata vocabularies). I like it so much I use it
instead of SmartDraw for a lot of things now. Example of a workflow diagram
