Dia is a diagramming tool loosely patterned after Visio. Features include multiple-page printing, export to many formats (EPS, SVG, CGM and PNG), and the ability to use custom shapes created by the user as simple XML descriptions. The program is useful for drawing UML diagrams, network maps, and flowcharts.
PortableDIA is a portable wrapper for DIA. Alternatively, X-Dia and Dia Portable are also available.

NickR: Prefer LibreOffice's Drawing tool, which takes some getting used to but also does a bit more than Dia. It's also in active development.

Very Popular but sadly neglected
SourceForge currently reports (Jan2016):
16,000 downloads this single week
and over a MILLION downloads in the last year !
BUT Last updated Aug 2014
What a shame this excellent software isn't developed to its full potential
or sold to someone who will

I tried really, really hard to make a go of this program to put together some flowcharts and so forth, but sadly its really not a replacement for Visio. Entering text into ojects and then and linking them (fairly simple stuff) is far too difficult and annoying. I hope the developers keep working on it and its gets to a more useful point.

I use it (ver 0.95) for simple charts at home, its equals to Visio (for my needs..), its free, and its portable so I can always take it with me on my DOK. Recommended.

Maybe the site has changed since Andy looked at it, but even following the links for advanced users to pick which components they want, I see no way of just picking DIA

A correction to my last post, that's Dia's old site - I should have read the page 1st!
This is the up-to-date one.

The website has is also available in English as well as Italian, just appears the French is the default.
The website is a bit like portableapps website where you can download individual apps or the package (known as Framakey)
Dia's own website is http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/ but I have not yet worked out if the versions on there are portable or not
Briefly used it to draw a complex diagram for a project at work. Seems powerful but usability and UI require getting used to.
