DrawFBP Diagram Generator is a tool for generating diagrams. DrawFBP is a picture-drawing tool that allows users to create multi-level diagrams which support the technology and methodology known as Flow-Based Programming (FBP). Diagrams are saved in DrawFBP XML format, and can actually be used to generate JavaFBP networks, which can then be compiled and run under Eclipse.

DrawFBP supports "stepwise decomposition" by supporting subnets - blocks in the diagram can specify lower level diagrams,which can in turn specify lower level ones, and so on. This allows the user to "zoom in" to a lower level, and then pop back up to the original diagram.

DrawFBP does not attempt to generate diagrams from text, instead it allows the designer to lay out the flow as desired, after which DrawFBP captures the information from the diagram, including x-y coordinates of blocks and line bends, in an XML file, with an extension of .drw. The XML contains sufficient information to enable the diagram to be redrawn, but it also captures the relationships between processes and their connections, so it has enough information to generate the lists of connections used by FBP (or FBP-like) schedulers.

DrawFBP now provides a font chooser function, which displays all available fonts on the user's machine, showing sample text and indicating which fonts support Chinese characters. DrawFBP maintains a user profile, which will retain, among other things, the names of the selected fonts (one for fixed format text, and one for variable).

DrawFBP supports stepwise decomposition by allowing the designer to associate either a code component, or a lower-level subnet, with a block on the diagram.
