The last time I tried counting I found more than 17 different vector drawing applications that are suitable for use with LaTeX/LyX documents. I've used Tgif, Xfig, jpicedt, IDE, and PSTricks. Each has strengths and weaknesses, so I use whichever seems to be the best for a particular type of illustration.
What I want to draw now are software flowcharts that illustrate how a model is structured and how data flow from one component to another. What would be ideal is a set of primatives for various standard nodes: data entry, decision points, printer, database storage, etc. Does anyone know of any such library of pre-built images that can be incorporated into a larger figure?
