Re: Graphic software for creating drawings and diagrams in cross-sectoral scientific papers

Thanks for pointing out its usefulness for semweb diagramming. Solves 25% of my illustration and diagramming needs. Based on professional advice found online on scientific illustration, I will make an inventory of the categories of diagrams and illustrations I will be needing minimally.
So far the most recommend general use programs are GIMP, Inkscape, Biorender, Blender, Illustrator, yEd,SciDavis.

 I've had good success with the open source diagrams.net, which used to be draw.io. It can render into PNG, SVG, and PDF, and I've used it many times to make CMap-style concept maps and schema diagrams.

Hi all,
Indeed it is too abstract. What would be the input to those diagrams?For instance, you mention "schemas and models", depending on the type and format, an ontology/graph editor could give you some graphical representation. If you want full freedom on the sort of diagrams, you could create your own visualizations with frameworks such as D3.

Regards,

This sounds very abstract. Do you have any examples, similar to what you want?

PlantUML is nifty and uses a simple text syntax for diagrams:
