YEd Graph Editor has an attractive interface, with a tabbed work area that lets you have multiple files open at once. Several aspects of the interface are modular, allowing you to close them when. 'YEd is a great alternative to commercial diagram software.' 'This software is designed to help create flow charts and other types of organizational diagrams. It is similar to Vizio, but free.' 'What I like the most about yED is that it has absolutely any feature that you can think that a diagramming and graphing editor should have.' YEd Graph Editor yEd is a powerful desktop application that can be used to quickly and effectively generate high-quality diagrams. Create diagrams manually, or import your external data for analysis. Our automatic layout algorithms arrange even large data sets with just the press of a button.

yEd is a general-purpose diagramming program with a multi-document interface.

It is a cross-platform application written in Java that runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and other platforms that support the Java Virtual Machine.

It is released under a proprietarysoftware license, that allows using a single copy gratis.[1]

An online version of yEd, yEd Live [2], also exists, and there is a Confluence version of yEd,Graphity for Confluence [3].

yEd can be used to draw many different types of diagrams,^[2] including flowcharts, network diagrams, UMLs, BPMN, mind maps, organization charts, and entity-relationship diagrams. yEd also allows the use of custom vector and raster graphics as diagram elements.

yEd loads and saves diagrams from/to GraphML, an XML-based format. It can also print very large diagrams that span multiple pages.

Features[edit]

Automatic layout[edit]

yEd can automatically arrange diagram elements^[3] using a variety of graph layout algorithms, including force-based layout, hierarchical layout (for flowcharts), orthogonal layout (for UML class diagrams), and tree layout (for organization charts).

Data exchange[edit]

yEd can import data in various formats to generate diagrams out of it. Import formats include the Microsoft Excel.xls format for spreadsheet data, the Gedcom format for genealogical data, and also arbitrary XML-based file formats, which are transformed by means of XSLT stylesheets. Predefined XSLT stylesheets provided by yEd can process the Apache Ant build script format used to define dependency information in software build processes and the OWL file format for the description of ontologies. Other XML-based data is processed in a generic way.

yEd can export diagrams to various raster and vector formats, including GIF, JPEG, PNG, EMF, BMP, PDF, EPS, and SVG. It can also export to SWF (Shockwave Flash) file format and HTML image maps.

The structural information of a diagram can be exported as GML (Graph Modeling Language) and TGF (Trivial Graph Format).

Development[edit]

yEd is a product of yWorks GmbH, a German software company.

yEd supports a wide variety of diagram types. In addition to the illustrated types, yEd also supports organization charts, mind maps, swimlane diagrams, Entity Relationship diagrams, and many more.

We hope that you find yEd to be an invaluable tool and as much fun to make diagrams as we do. Spread the word and recommend it to your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+!

'As a software developer, I used to use Graphviz for my code comprehension needs. While its compact format has its advantages, it was just too much effort to input data - particularly relationships. I wanted to be able to create relationships by dragging my mouse from one node to another. This is exactly how yEd works.
You don't have to sacrifice the longevity of plain-text that Graphviz files offer. yEd works entirely on the XML-based GraphML format. You get the same benefits of cross-platform support and exporting to SVG, PNG, PDF etc. as with Graphviz. But yEd is that it is written in Java yet has a 100% native look and feel (so on Mac, you can zoom in and out with 2 finger scrolling).
The best feature for me is its ability to group nodes and collapse/expand them. This makes it possible to capture much bigger graphs in a single file than with Graphviz (in which I had to mess with numerical properties). Layouts also give you the ability to comprehend your data in different ways, and when you change layout it animates the transition which makes the experience fun.
yEd, which is free, is probably better than any non-free software out there, and I've never had to upgrade it since I first heard of it, and haven't noticed any bugs. I'm really grateful for yWorks for this product and hope it stays around as long as I live.'

'Hello!
Thought I'd give you guys a shout out!
I love your product, yEd! I'm a pretty new user, I've only been using it for a few days, but I already
think it's 1000s of times better than Visio. The auto-layouts are frustration-free. BIG thumbs up! Keep up the good work! '

'Hallo yWorks-Team,
ich LIEBE yEd und kann es nicht fassen, dass sie es umsonst rausgeben. Das ist so toll und gut von ihnen. Vielen Dank.
Ich habe mit ihrem Tätigkeitsfeld sonst gar nichts zu tun, sondern habe lediglich eine Software gesucht, die aus Daten ein komplexes Organigramm für unsere Ehrenamtsstruktur machen kann. Ich hab viel geschaut und kein auch nur halbwegs erschwingliches Programm gefunden, was aus verbreiteten Daten (Excel) so zeichnen kann. OmniGraffle kann aus Daten zeichnen - aber die muss man selbst dort eingeben. Auf jeden Fall kann man sie nicht aus Excel importieren.
Also vielen Dank dafür, beste Grüße nach Tübingen! '
