Kivio is a special computer program that helps you draw different kinds of diagrams and flowcharts. It's like a digital drawing board for making plans, showing steps, or organizing ideas visually. Kivio is free to use and is part of a bigger collection of programs called KOffice, which works on computers that use KDE software.
What is Kivio?
Kivio is a computer program designed for creating flowcharts and other diagrams. It's part of the KOffice collection of tools, which is similar to other office suites you might know. The way Kivio looks and feels when you use it is quite similar to another popular diagramming program called Microsoft Visio.
Key Features of Kivio
Kivio has several cool features that make it useful for drawing diagrams:
- Scriptable Stencils: You can create your own special shapes and symbols, called stencils, using a programming language called Python. This means you can customize your diagrams a lot!
- Dia Stencil Support: Kivio can also use stencils created for another diagramming program called Dia. This makes it easy to share and use shapes from different sources.
- Plugin Framework: The program has a special system that lets people add new functions and tools to it. This means Kivio can grow and get new abilities over time through plugins.
