Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the creation of algorithm flow charts, specifically focusing on tools or programs that can facilitate this process. Participants express challenges in representing algorithms visually and seek recommendations for software solutions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes a flow chart as a visual representation of algorithms using various shapes like circles and rectangles, seeking clarification and assistance.
  • Another participant suggests a specific program for flow chart drawing found through a web search.
  • Concerns are raised about the cost of available software, with one participant noting that many options require payment and expressing a desire for free alternatives.
  • A link to an example of a flow charting tool is shared, potentially offering a free solution.
  • Subsequent replies express appreciation for the suggestions and indicate intent to try the recommended tools.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for tools to create flow charts, but there is no consensus on the best solution, as some express concerns about cost while others share links to potential free options.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of detailed specifications regarding the desired features of the flow chart software and the varying definitions of what constitutes a flow chart.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals seeking to visually represent algorithms, particularly those looking for free or low-cost software solutions for flow chart creation.

Algorithm flow chart??

I don't know if the exact word is flow chart, It's a direct translation from a french word, it's something that you represent an algorithm with bunch of circles, rectangles, parallelograms, and Rhombus.
Anyone know what I'm talking about ?
in case someone does, is there a program to do this?
I have a number of algorithms to represent, and it's damn hard to them with a drawing program, or by hand..

the problem everything I found needed money, I know there is some GPL around, but some of them are very big like Open Office...
Microsoft Word can do it too, but I don't have it..

Look great, I'm going to give it a try, thank you.
 
It is really nice. Thank you.
