The OmniGraffle modeling tool at work
HavingusedOmniGrafleforanumberofmodels,Ibelieve that it provides excellent
capabilities to draw larger and more complex models. The multilayer capabilities
and rich drawing palettes allow you to integrate the model into broader documents
that can be used for other purposes as well. The only major negative aspect at this
point seems to be its limited support for the Windows platform.
With that, we have covered the important tooling additions that we wanted to
provide to our topic and are ready to wrap up.
