With OmniGraffle Pro you get an unlimited number of these which allows you to go crazy with related diagrams. Related to layers, are canvases, which are somewhat akin to separate pages for related diagrams. When creating complex diagrams you can create them in multiple layers which is really helpful to me when explaining complex concepts. One nice feature is the ability to double-click on a tool in OmniGraffle Pro's tool palette and it stays active for multiple creations. In addition to the palettes, there is also a robust set of drawing tools. I found particularly good and it is now on my RSS feed. There are also several websites with many professional looking user created sets of palettes. These include such things as logic flow, idea mapping, website planning, GUI planning, architecture, and a host of other subjects. Out of the box, OmniGraffle has multiple sets of Palettes but there are even more on the Omni Group website. It also has a unique set of "Palettes" which are pre-defined objects you can simply drag and drop right onto your diagram. It has a streamlined set of inspectors that, after spending some time learning, make it very easy to alter just about every parameter of my diagrams. What I really like about this program is the way it combines powerful diagramming tools with a simple interface. OmniGraffle is a diagramming application used to create simple diagrams, flow charts, and illustrations. It is needless to say that when switching over to Apple one concern I had was "how am I going to continue making brilliant diagrams?" I knew with the OS X interface there had to be a program to meet my needs and indeed I have found it in OmniGraffle by the Omni Group. As a trial lawyer, I have personal experience that a few good diagrams can help the jurrors and judges understand exactly what it is I am trying to explain. An offshoot to this diagram fixation is that I like to include them with just about anything I write or present. I think it has something to do with the way my brain is wired but I am always pulling out a sketch pad whether I'm trying to understand some complex client problem or simply explain to my kids the difference between a phillips and a slotted screwdriver. As usual, this review was recorded and written for my friend Tim at and released with Surfbits episode 108
