Decision trees

[zujie at mac.com]

OmniGraffle can be easily used for many kind of trees and maps (mind  
maps, concept maps...)

A good place to start is to open the 'utilities' drawer and enter  
your draft tree using the outline mode with 'Auto lay out' and 'Auto  
restyle' on; then correct/ refine/ complete/ re-arrange the graph.
I like the various 'brainstorming' styles (choice at the bottom of  
the drawer) for quickly drafting trees and maps. Using the mindmap  
stencil to complete a brainstorming/ line diagram style is for  
instance an easy and nice solution.

The advantages of OmniGraffle for this kind of job are in my opinion:
- Ability to completely customize the final graph or tree - while  
specialized tree or mindmapping software would be quite rigid about it.
- Ability to have customized and sophisticated graphics - much more  
than specialized software.

Hope that helps.

What is the best software to draw decision trees on a Mac? Has anyone  
tried Omnigraffle for this - are there any premade stencils for this  
purpose?

Thanks
