I've actually even considered drawing the diagram on an A3 sheet of graph paper, the manually just copying the co-ords into SVG. The paper drawing itself will be so much simpler and quicker than with a cad tool.

If you don't have to do it repeatedly, sometimes graph paper and a pencil works best!

Fast and "dirty" and better supported at the moment: SVG
Long (more middle) term: HTML5 Canvas, great "standard"

Looks impressive. But I'm not really looking for a charting package, but more something that can, for example, be used to create flowcharts. cytoscape seems overkill?

depends what you want to accompliah
if want graphics that basic shapes could make, and marked up, and interactive the same as "normal" html markup is (like hover and click events), then SVG
check out d3.js[^] all that is SVG and document driven interaction.
If have specific graphics stuff that you need to do, and do not care so much about user interaction (unless you look at libraries and want to deal with Pixel<> object mapping relations), then Canvas your thing.

Yes, exactly, thank you.
I've just start poking around d3, will explore more.

Kornfeld mentioned this web-app today, here, in his "smallest circle" programming challenge: Sketchometry [^]
I'm impressed by its speed of drawing and grouping complex shapes. etc.
Wonder if you might get some ideas from it.
cheers, Bill

Personally, I like the single level of indirection SVG would use.
Everything Renders it quite nicely, and if you DID need to do something relatively unique, you could easily find the SVG example.
Very easy to dump an SVG file and find the issue. Especially vs. Canvas Writing commands.
Also, great for importing into a graphics package as vectored and using it in literature.

This but in a browser.
SVG seems to be the winner here in this informal questionnaire.

Hah, that reminds me of a DOS program I used: EZ-Flow. It had a great feature/mode: Keyboard!
You would type a 1 letter code for each object (D for Decision), hit ENTER and then hit an arrow key, it would draw the decision box, and the arrow in that direction and then you type R (I think) for routine, gives a rectangle, completes the arrow for you.
If you kept typing, it would fill in the caption until you hit ENTER or something (this was like 1987).
The funny part was that I could CRANK OUT Flowcharts really quickly. We had to use them in our documentation, LOL. Everything aligned to grid, which was fine.
==
But now you have me curious. Are you going to use SVG For the Individual objects, or for the Entire Graph? (I assume the entire graph, since it should handle the moving of attached lines perfectly well).
Good luck. Won't it be funny if it was easier to implement than everything you had to do to make the desktop app?

Yeah, same car.
Ten degrees initial, 36 total, all in by 3000 rpm.
It' idling kinda high because we haven't really done anything to the carbs as far as tuning. We just wanted it to keep running while we messed with other stuff.
I'm glad we put solid motor mounts in at the outset, you can feel the added torque from the blower when you're in the car. I bet it would lift the front end off the ground with some drag radials on it.

Thats cam angles is it? I know it by crank angle so for example a 40-80 80-40 cam has a 300 degree duration, it was very revvy, idled about 1500 though.
So would your cam be, in crank angles, 20-72? Have to say it sounds great, very quick pick up and revs smoothly.
