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

Depending on what I am trying to do, my go to tools/software have been:
  For hand drawn diagrams:  yEd
  For generating graphs:  D3, Vega, etc. for JavaScript, and Loom, Oz, etc.
for Clojure.

Highly recommend yEd - find it very versatile and meets most of my needs. I
have also used other tools such as Inkscape, Visio, Gimp, .... but keep
going back to yEd.

Best wishes
Sivaram
