@Ged,

You can do “File -> Export”, export it to an image file and insert it to the OpenOffice. (or) Use the command line dia option to covert it to the image file as explained above by Selva.

@Jimmy, @Berry,

Thanks for your comments. I’m very glad you found this article helpful.

@Selva,

Thanks for explaining us how to convert the dia file to other image formats from the command line using -t option.

@Rich,

Gliffy looks pretty sleek. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Ramesh, I recently came across Gliffy http://www.gliffy.com/ Looks really good simple tool if you don’t have diagram anything complex.

For embedding flowchart in to OpenOffice , we can convert dia format to some other format using dia command itself.

For Ex : convert from dia format to png format
dia test.dia -t png -e test.png

Thanks. Good article to start with Dia. And what about its embedding to OpenOffice, for example. Is it possible any way?
