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.
 
Try searching on google for "free vector graphics software" or something similar, you should get plenty of results.
