Didn't get to see the URL's you posted but based on the fact you were asking if anyone knew MS Word well enough to help you draw something I'm betting you require more complexity than simple squares and circles.

Firstly, for drawing MS word is about as useful as a cardboard oven, what might be of more use is some *free* vector drawing software such as http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/DrawPlus/default.asp If money was no object I'd advise you got yourself a copy of Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw but these are specialist packages and cost a fair bit...you might not get your money's worth.

Hello dirac1,

I've found the following website to be very helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_vector_graphics_editors

I personally use Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) which is published under GPL license.

Hello dirac1,

I don't know how experienced you are in using such programs, but it shouldn't be too hard to learn. Here's one part of a tutorial for the program I mentioned: http://www.inkscape.org/doc/shapes/tutorial-shapes.html

In my opinion it is very well written and many examples are included as well. This can help to give you an idea of which results are possible and how much time you would have to spend to achieve them.

Are you looking for a graphics program? Or a graph-rendering program?

For simple diagrams, http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/" works. I've attached a screenshot of each of these "in action" (not really, I just wanted to take a screenshot ).

Can you just not plot them, eg. in Matlab?

For simple line diagrams, I use xfig.
