Software to create physics diagrams

In summary, the conversation is about finding freeware for creating diagrams for physics classes. One person recommends Drawplus4 from sherifsoftware.com, while another suggests using scilab and octave which are available for free on Windows and Unix systems. They also recommend searching for "free vector graphics software" on Google for more options.

Hi,

Does anyone know of any freeware available in the internet for creating diagrams for physics classes. I need to be able to draw clearly labeled diagrams for all kinds of problems that we encounter in physics.

I found one at www.sherifsoftware.com[/URL] called Drawplus4. Has anyone used this?

Would you people be able to share any knowledge regarding this? Thanks a lot.

I'm beginning to use scilab and octave. Both are free and available on Windows and any Unix like systems. I use them on Linux. I don't know drawplus.
