I prefer to create PDF files (ie: from Visio) and include them with Latex's includepdf package, or inline with PNG images. I must say however when I draw diagrams I use yEd, which is incredibly powerful and auto-formatting. These diagrams can be exported to PDF and put in Org easily.

There are many more. Some are general, some are more specialized. Russell mentioned Visio but afaik that's Windows only. Processing Processing code through a babel process should be entirely processable too :-) Once you produce output in some format (png, jpeg, svg, postscript - whatever your emacs is capable of showing through the image.el package[fn:1]), you can add a link to it in your org file. Then you can toggle inline images on or off with C-c C-x C-v (or C-u C-c C-x C-v if you have captions). Fundamentally, that's it - but of course, people have been coming up with streamlined ways to do all that (e.g. Max M's org-screenshot to take the most recent example). Footnotes: [fn:1] Mine can do png, jpeg, svg, xpm, but not postscript, even though image-type-available-p says that it *is* available - there are other formats that should also work, but that I have not tried: gif, pbm, xbm, bmp, tiff. Not sure why postscript does not work for me. On linux, the various image types require that emacs be built with the various libraries. On Windows, I think they are dynamically loaded, if present. -- Nick From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Marcin Borkowski Subject: Re: Best way to make/add tech diagrams/graphics?
