Free drawings like Visio: shapes, text, connectors glued to shapes, text formatting and shape styles, several pages. Everything is stored in this browser only.
| Drawing |
| Rectangle / ellipse / line (Tools) | drag on the page; a click gives the default size; Shift: square / circle / straight line |
| Text | click or drag on the page, type, click elsewhere (or Esc, Ctrl+Enter) to finish |
| Connector | drag from a shape onto another: the ends are glued (green handles) and follow the shapes. Dropped on a shape's line, the end sits on that line, snapped to the raster shown as dots (twelfths of each side: halves, thirds, quarters — equal distances are easy); on an own × point it stays there; dropped inside the shape it takes the nearest side. Right angles (routed around the two shapes) or straight (Line menu) |
| Connection point (×) | click on a shape to add a point where connectors can glue; click an own point to remove it |
