I would like to reproduce this graph (or something like it) in OmniGraffle: http://www.scientificcomputing.com/uploadedImages/Images/0907/sc090727h_lg%282%29.jpg I'm not sure I can. The biggest problem has to do with the proportional spacing of the lines and how they attach to the boxes. While I have manually entered the lines thickness, I don't see any way to get them to attach to their end boxes so that their thicknesses is taken in account with their attachment. For example, look at the "Coal" box on the left. There is a fat line going to "Electricity Generation" and a thin line going to "Industrial". Those two lines should be spaced on the "Coal" box so that the little line attaches under the big line. Anchors would be a way to do this, but I don't see an method other than manually clicking the box to attach a magnet. That's imprecise and would be a real headache when trying to do the "Electricity Generation" box, for instance. Any thoughts? -Sean __ Sean Ahern Oak Ridge National Laboratory 865-241-3748 AIM: ornlsean
