Time for an update on an application I last looked at over 12 months ago. Acknowledged as the premier diagramming, charting and visualisation tool for OSX, OmniGraffle has recently been relaunched with a mojor upgrade - OmniGraffle 5. Available in both Standard and Pro versions, OmniGraffle is the tool that Mac users rely on to produce diagrams, process charts, UI mock ups and much more. Recognised as a perfect Visio replacement for switchers coming across to the Mac, OmniGraffle is a delight to use (see this recent blog post - "OmniGraffle makes it easy to leave Visio behind") combining simplicity with ease of use to deliver outstanding results. This weeks show revisits some of the functionality I examined in the last show but focuses more on the new features in OmniGraffle 5 including: User Interface Update New Toolbar Configuring Drawing Tools Mini Inspector Style Tray Tools Basics inlcluding: New Bezier Line Tool Diagram Tool New Layout Engine New Stencil Palette Graffletopia Integration New OmniGraffle Pro features including: Subgraphs Presentation Mode Visio Compatability This weeks free show is sponsored by the Omni Group.
