用什麼軟體畫流程圖？

01-05

我用思維導圖比較多，mindmapper。但是有一個問題：思維導圖是很嚴格的從上到下的順序，你當然可以創造一個新topic，然後再把它跟原先的topic連起來，但那樣很難看。而visio我就覺得為什麼那麼小啊？畫兩下怎麼就沒地方了？mindmapper怎麼就沒這樣的問題，好像是無限大的那樣。

這是擴張後的結果。我試探了一下，這樣的圖很難看。不知道應該怎麼調整。

可以試試ProcessOn.com, 一個專業在線畫流程圖的工具，使用ChromeFirefox瀏覽器，支持快捷鍵，非常方便。快捷鍵如下：

Ctrl+A 全選，當移動整張圖時非常方便

Ctrl+B 格式刷，選中圖形A,按Ctrl+B,選中圖形B，則對圖形A的設置會應用到圖形B上

Ctrl+C 這兩個，不用說了

Ctrl+V

1.我用思維導圖比較多，mindmapper。但是有一個問題：思維導圖是很嚴格的從上到下的順序，你當然可以創造一個新topic，然後再把它跟原先的
topic連起來，但那樣很難看。

思維導圖壓根就不適合畫流程，流程更多是動態分析，思維導圖是靜態分析；靜態分析中又包括兩種，一種是樹狀展開，一種是多維度分析，如常見的表格矩陣二維分析。思維導圖只適用於靜態分析中的圍繞一個中心點樹狀展開場景。

2. 而visio我就覺得為什麼那麼小啊？畫兩下怎麼就沒地方了？

當前visio仍然是最好的畫流程的工具。裡面包括了三種常見的，一種是最基本簡單的流程圖，一種是支持階段和職能帶的流程圖，這種往往是用的最多的。還有基於EPC事件鏈的流程圖，往往在企業架構中的最底層流程會用到。

畫兩下畫不下包括兩個方面的調整，一個是頁面設置本身就可以設置的更大。其二是畫的時候不要用默認的視圖比例，可以將視圖比例調整到200%來畫。下面是一個簡單圖，實際畫的比這個線框更多的都很常見。

其次，PPT是畫流程次好的工具，一般很多簡單的流程直接在ppt裡面畫就可以了。很多人對於PPT裡面畫流程相關符號，線框相當不熟悉，導致畫起來很費勁。這個還是要多練習，現在不是特別的流程基本都是直接在ppt裡面畫。下圖可以參考：

其它的一些更加小巧的畫流程圖工具就不用說了，前面回答也有介紹。但是一定不要用思維導圖工具，project工具等去畫流程。即使畫出來了又怎樣？類似我們看到很多用ppt畫畫，畫得很逼真的。不要把時間消耗在這些炫技的地方。

Office 環境下還是用 Visio 畫吧。

作為 LaTeX 黨，我都是用 TikZ 畫的。

TeXample 上的例子：

egin{tikzpicture}[node distance = 2cm, auto] % Place nodes


ode [block] (init) {initialize model};
ode [cloud, left of=init] (expert) {expert};
ode [cloud, right of=init] (system) {system};
ode [block, below of=init] (identify) {identify candidate models};
ode [block, below of=identify] (evaluate) {evaluate candidate models};
ode [block, left of=evaluate, node distance=3cm] (update) {update model};
ode [decision, below of=evaluate] (decide) {is best candidate better?};

ode [block, below of=decide, node distance=3cm] (stop) {stop}; % Draw edges path [line] (init) -- (identify); path [line] (identify) -- (evaluate); path [line] (evaluate) -- (decide); path [line] (decide) -| node [near start] {yes} (update); path [line] (update) |- (identify); path [line] (decide) -- node {no}(stop); path [line,dashed] (expert) -- (init); path [line,dashed] (system) -- (init); path [line,dashed] (system) |- (evaluate); end{tikzpicture}

思維導圖的話 TikZ 還有專門的 library 叫 mindmap，不過非常花哨：

draw.io，網頁版跨平台無需安裝，功能強大超出想像，免費，數據保存在雲端。

visio的畫板可也以無限擴大，你超出了原來的範圍，它就自動擴展。

需要高大上的效果就花錢買個 OmniGraffle pro 吧

Omni系列都很良心。

在我看來沒有做不漂亮的工具只有沒想清楚的糊塗腦子。

說幾個用過的

PowerPoint能滿足大部分需求了，節點能自動幫你連接，如果圖特別大，可以調整頁面大小的

剛畫了個簡單點的泳道圖模板。

優點：可視化，自由，靈活，易上手

下面說倆需要寫代碼的

2. plantuml 的activity圖，需要java

下面一個例子，如下代碼保存成 sequenceDiagram.txt ，下載 plantuml.jar 放到你的目錄

java -jar plantuml.jar sequenceDiagram.txt

可以用-T參數指定格式，比如svg啦

@startuml


start

:ClickServlet.handleRequest();

:new page;

if (Page.onSecurityCheck) then (true)

  :Page.onInit();

  if (isForward?) then (no)

    :Process controls;

    if (continue processing?) then (no)

      stop

    endif
    if (isPost?) then (yes)

      :Page.onPost();

    else (no)

      :Page.onGet();

    endif

    :Page.onRender();

  endif

else (false)

endif
if (do redirect?) then (yes)

  :redirect process;

else

  if (do forward?) then (yes)

    :Forward request;

  else (no)

    :Render page template;

  endif

endif
stop

生成的是這樣的，樣式可以自己定義，顏色填充等。

中文的例子 http://plantuml.com/unicode

優點：代簡單，帶邏輯，自動化，應用廣泛，適合特別複雜的圖。

流程圖僅是其中一個，其他的還有時序圖，UML，組件圖等，用例圖。具體看這裡 Open-source tool that uses simple textual descriptions to draw UML diagrams.

缺點：可定製化差

3. 大殺器，TikZ，功能強大，唯一限制的，只有你的想像力， 700頁以上的文檔。

如果裝了TeXLive，用texdoc tikz 命令能調出這個700頁的文檔
