Kivio: not as good as dia?Kivio: not as good as dia?Posted May 5, 2004 3:40 UTC (Wed) by pjm (subscriber, #2080)In reply to: Kivio by rfunk Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's guide to diagram editors Dia seemed much better than kivio last I looked, and a casual glance didn't reveal any advantages (unless you strongly prefer kde widgets over gtk). I haven't spent much time with kivio though; can anyone give a reason to use kivio rather than dia? E.g. is it good for importing & exporting, or printing or something?

Kivio: not as good as dia? Posted May 6, 2004 8:37 UTC (Thu) by boudewijn (subscriber, #14185) [Link] I find Kivio quite a bit easier to use than Dia -- especially with theversion currently in the KOffice cvs, which is polished and has a large selection of stencil shapes, including all Dia's stencils. I use it for my UML diagramming, my wife uses it to visualize the relations and plots in her novels. You can export your drawing to most bitmap file formats by choosing Page/Export Page -- the File/Export only exports to native or Oasis format, because Kivio can group drawings in one document.
