Thanks, but I'm not a programmer, so I'd need something with a modern GUI.

Someone mentioned OmniGraffle, which I already have (and love).
Unfortunately it is Mac only and it  doesn't allow exporting to .dot files.

I do educational research in poor K-12 schools, and they don't have the
funds to buy the dozens of copies of "Inspiration" - which is the only
comparable cross-platform software on the market.

Here's my dream software: A cross-platform open-source program that uses the
.dot language, but is easy enough for normal users.

Is there a "Firefox/Thunderbird/Gimp" equivalent for graphs?

Thanks,
Roger
