If you need to create a flowcart, diagram, org chart or even a wireframe, I have a powerful and attractive resource for you! Lovely Charts is a slick Adobe Flex application that uses a simplistic drag and drop drawing engine. You can tell Lovely Charts has placed heavy importance on their clean design and attractive chart output. Their graphics and symbols will help you clearly represent your ideas on screen…without having to dig deep through thousands of choices. But don’t take my word for it, view their Gallery here.
So what’s it going to cost me?
Lovely Charts offers both a free and paid version. The free product allows users to print or export as many charts as needed, however you can only save one editable chart. If you need to be able to save more editable charts, try the professional version. It supports versioning and team collaboration with commenting.

Reggie – Thanks for sharing Lovely Charts – I'm signing up today, I already have a project that this would be perfect for and it will transform my boring chart to a super cool one.
This is really cool – I am definitely going to make good use out of this in the coming weeks. Thanks for sharing.
Saweeet! Thanks!
Lovely charts are great. They are definitely and improvement of the previous program I used. I think the free version is fine for now, although when I am doing many in the future, I will have to pay. Thanks for the update.
I made my first chart with Lovely today and it was a painful experience, sad to say. I was really looking forward to playing with it but the help is very poor, the site not intuitive first go, and export was a nightmare. So far, I still don't have my chart exported properly (it creates a huge, empty file with my chart as a tiny little blip in the bottom right).
Definitely a beta. Beware for now. I hope they make some drastic improvements because the concept is lovely.
