Dear All,

Can Inkscape make diagrams like the attached one, somehow automatically?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

For automated rendering of tree-like graphics, I can
recommend Graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/). You
can render amazingly complex graphics (the input
is ASCII text) with this.

HTH,

And it can output SVG, which you can import to Inkscape.

Does it do lines with right angle bends like the original post though?
I thought only straight lines or splines.

Thanks to all respondents! Graphviz is the tool I was looking for!
