Yed Graph Editor as Freeware for Organizational Charts, Workflows, ...

Home !
Overview of All Applications !


yEd Graph Editor


yEd is a very powerful graph editor that can be used to quickly and effectively generate drawings and to apply automatic layouts to a range of different diagrams and networks.

yEd is available as a free download with unrestricted functionality!

yEd makes full use of the yFiles library. This is a Java class library enabling the viewing, editing, optimizing, drawing, and animating of a wide range of diagrams, networks, and other graph-like structures.

yEd has been built using 100% lightweight Swing components. This allows it to run on any platform where a suitable Runtime Environment is available.

yEd can be used to automatically lay out complex graph structures. Several highly sophisticated layout algorithms have been implemented and shipped with yEd. They can be used either to automatically arrange the items or to support the user when undertaking a manual layout.

  • Interactive Hierarchical Layout enables you to interactively layout hierarchical or pseudo-hierarchical scenarios.
  • Hierarchical Layout allows you to perfectly visualize hierarchical or pseudo-hierarchical scenarios.
  • Orthogonal Layout will produce clear representations of complex networks.
  • UML-style Orthogonal Layout offers special support for arranging UML class diagrams, for example.
  • Organic Layout and Smart Organic Layout will produce clear representations of complex diagrams like ER diagrams, UML diagrams, and many more.
    The layout can be restricted so that it fits into a given area (e.g., a rectangle, circle, or ellipse) or a specified aspect ratio. Enhanced support for nested graphs.
  • Organic Edge Router will organically re-route edges in existing drawings.
  • Orthogonal Edge Router will orthogonally re-route edges in existing drawings.
  • Circular Layout can perfectly portray interconnected ring and star topologies.
    Nodes can be arranged on the entire disk now. Support for nested graphs.
  • Tree Layout can be used to clearly visualize tree-like structures in many different ways.
    Tree layout can consider node and edge labels for layout calculation and provides additional alignment options.

yEd enables users to create groups of nodes, which can be visualized and nested to virtually any degree. Furthermore, the new layout algorithms fully support this type of visualization. Using this unique feature, complex structures can be visualized and laid out even more clearly than before.

Another of yEd's excellent features is its ability to automatically assign label positions. This will enable the user to easily build improved diagrams, with each label clearly readable.

Further, yEd has an intuitive user interface that complies with modern design guidelines for applications. Among its features are:

  • a customizable workplace that lets you arrange your tool windows to meet your precise needs
  • tabular property editors that enable you to easily configure the graphical properties
  • internationalization: yEd has been localized in English and German
  • a sophisticated print preview that enables you to preview the printing results (this is especially practical for poster-printing)
  • session management: yEd remembers and manages your settings
  • undo functionality
  • clipboard facility
  • keyboard shortcuts for most of the functions
  • integrated help system

yEd can be used to build, modify, and visualize graph structures in an effective and efficient manner. They can be loaded and saved using a variety of different file formats including:

  • XML-based GraphML file format; the default file format
  • YGF file format; a binary file format
  • GML graph file format; a popular text-based graph file format
  • XML-based GML graph file format; a variant of the GML language that uses XML syntax
  • Import of arbitrary XML files. An XSLT stylesheet must be given that transforms the XML input into a valid GraphML. Predefined stylesheets for Ant build scripts, the OWL Web Ontology Language, and others are included.

For exporting graph structures, yEd offers file formats for image and vector graphics export including:

  • PDF (Portable Document Format) by Adobe
  • Macromedia Flash file format SWF
  • SVG vector graphics file format. This file format supports embedding URLs and descriptive tooltips for both nodes and edges.
  • Enhanced Windows Meta File (EMF) file format, a vector graphics format that can be used in almost any Windows application.
  • JPG and GIF file formats. Export large images as multiple images and HTML tables also supported.
  • HTML image maps with support for embedding URLs and descriptive tooltips for both nodes and edges (see a sample)
  • BMP (on Windows machines) and PNG file formats
  • EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)

All of the image export formats can be fully customized to meet your unique needs.

The editor supports the complete set of graphical attributes necessary for effective graph visualization. The built-in support includes:

  • pre-configured node types for UML object diagrams and class diagrams
  • multiple labels for nodes and edges
  • multi-line and icon labels
  • powerful searching and selection utilities
  • zooming (resembling a magnifying glass, for example) and overview (zooming can be controlled using the mouse-wheel)
  • a set of beautiful icons to get you started with your first diagrams
  • further non-graphical properties for nodes and edges: descriptive tooltips and URLs which can be used to open files from within yEd

Free Calculator for Resource Management in Call Centers

Home !
Overview of All Applications !


Here is a brief introduction to the calculator. For more detailed information, press the Help Button which opens a new browser window on your desktop.

  • This calculator, which is based on the Erlang B and Erlang C traffic models, helps you to estimate how many agents you need in your call centre for each hour during an eight hour day. It also works out how many trunks (lines) you need into your call centre to handle these calls.
  • Before you start entering hourly figures, you need to specify some general call details and your service targets into the top area 'Targets and assumptions':
    • Average Call Duration - enter the average call length in seconds into this box.
    • Average Wrap Up Time - This is the time, in seconds, during which an agent is not available to answer a call after completing the last call. It is usually used to complete administrative tasks.
    • Call answering target - Use these two boxes to specify service targets to which the call centre works. For example, if you require that 75% of calls are answered within 15 seconds, enter 75 into the first box and 15 into the second box.
    • Trunk blocking target - This is the grade of service target which is used when sizing the lines into the call centre. It is expressed as a fraction of the total calls which will be lost because insufficient lines have been provided. For example, 0.010 means that 1% of all calls would be blocked.

  • When the target figures have been entered, you can enter the hourly figures into the boxes in the second section. Each line in this section represents an hour. In the first column of each row, you should enter the number of calls received at the call centre in that hour. As soon as you leave the box, the remaining three boxes are calculated for you. They show the average delay which will be experienced by all calls, the number of agents required during that hour, and the number of lines required to carry that traffic into the call centre.
  • Once you have entered the hourly figures, you can change the Targets and assumptions figures which you entered into the top area of the calculator. The hourly calls figures will remain, but the results will be removed. To recalculate the hourly results, press the Calc. button.
  • The bottom section of the calculator summarises the daily call centre estimates. The first box shows the name of the busiest hour, the second box shows the number of agents required during that busiest hour, and the final box shows the number of lines required into the call centre to carry the peak traffic. Remember that although you can dynamically change the number of agents on duty, the number of lines installed are fixed, and must be sufficient to cater for the peak traffic.

    GUESS: A Freeware Graph Exploration System for your Organizational Charts

    Home !
    Overview of All Applications !




    GUESS is an exploratory data analysis and visualization tool for graphs and networks. The system contains a domain-specific embedded language called Gython (an extension of Python, or more specifically Jython) which supports the operators and syntactic sugar necessary for working on graph structures in an intuitive manner. An interactive interpreter binds the text that you type in the interpreter to the objects being visualized for more useful integration. GUESS also offers a visualization front end that supports the export of static images and dynamic movies.

    Because GUESS is Jython/Java based you can also construct your own applications and applets without much coding. GUESS is distributed as GPL and makes use of a number of great open source packages and contributions. Feel free to explore the website and download the application or read on for more details.

    You can find it at http://graphexploration.cond.org/index.html
