Dia (/ˈdiːə/)[3]is free and open source general-purpose diagramming software, developed originally by Alexander Larsson. Dia uses a controlled single document interface (SDI) similar to GIMP and Inkscape.
Dia Diagram Editor for Mac is an open-source visual-editing application, which can be used to draw numerous different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams.
- Dia Diagram Editor is free Open Source drawing software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Dia supports more than 30 different diagram types like flowcharts, network diagrams, database models. More than a thousand readymade objects help to draw professional diagrams. Dia can read and write a number of different raster and vector image formats.
- Dia Diagram Editor is capable of creating all manner of diagrams, from electronic circuit diagrams, and computer network diagrams to simple flowcharts for business projects. Key features include: Scriptable via Python. More than 1000 predefined objects and symbols.
- Network Bandwidth Analyzer pack gives you the power of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor and NetFlow Traffic Analyzer so you can detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues, track response time, availability, and uptime of routers, switches, and other SNMP-enabled devices, monitor and analyze network bandwidth performance and traffic patterns, and find bandwidth hogs on a.
Features[edit]
Dia has a modular design with several shape packages available for different needs: flowchart, network diagrams, circuit diagrams, and more. It does not restrict symbols and connectors from various categories from being placed together.
Dia has special objects to help draw entity-relationship models (obsoleted tedia2sql or newer parsediasql can be used to create the SQL DDL), Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple electrical circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to draw the shape.
Dia loads and saves diagrams in a custom XML format which is, by default, gzipped to save space. It can print large diagrams spanning multiple pages[4] and can also be scripted using the Python programming language.

Development[edit]
Dia was originally created by Alexander Larsson but he moved on to work on GNOME and other projects. James Henstridge then took over as the lead developer, but he also moved on to other projects. He was followed by Cyrille Chepelov and Lars Ræder Clausen in turn.
Dia is maintained by a group of developers: Hans Breuer, Steffen Macke, and Sameer Sahasrabuddhe.
Dia is written in C, and has an extension system, which also supports writing extensions in Python.
