-Dia (diagram creation program)
-
-Dia is inspired by the commercial Windows program 'Visio', though
-more geared towards informal diagrams for casual use. It can be used
-to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special
-objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams,
-flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also
-possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files,
-using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.
+Dia is an application for creating technical diagrams. Its interface and
+features are loosely patterned after the Windows program Visio. Its features
+include multiple-page printing, export to many formats (EPS, SVG, CGM and
+PNG) and the ability to use custom shapes created by the user as simple XML
+descriptions. Dia is useful for drawing UML diagrams, network maps and
+flowcharts.
