OmniGraffle is packed with a ton of goodies, and received a total redesign for OS X Yosemite (v10.10). Since its initial release, OmniGraffle 6 has evolved into the precision drawing tool that designers around the world turn to for everything from creating simple flowcharts to prototyping apps—and their interactions—for Mac, iOS, and the web.
OmniGraffle has been optimized for OS X Yosemite, and the user interface has gone through a massive transformation to give OmniGraffle a nice, clean appearance.
The biggest improvement, however, can be found in the Inspectors. Each Inspector palette has been painstakingly redesigned to optimize space and function. More importantly, you can now detach the Inspectors from the main app window (yes, we’ve listened!). For designers used to running on multiple displays, this is a huge boon as you’ll be able to keep the Inspectors on one screen while going into Full Screen mode on your big spiffy external display. (Go on, you know you want to.)
If you have OmniGraffle Pro, you’ll find that we’ve added Layer blending modes to the Fill Inspector. Layer blending gives you the flexibility to apply filters to a layer and then blend colors with other layers in the stack.
Mar 17, 2020. OmniGraffle Pro helps you draw beautiful diagrams, family trees, flow charts, org charts, layouts, and (mathematically speaking) any other directed or non-directed graphs. We've had people use Graffle to plan plotlines for a story, make an overview of an operating system, show the evolution of computers, and even show how diseases can spread in a closed population.
And finally, there’s a new place in Omni’s family: Stenciltown. Stenciltown is where you can safely find and download new stencils for OmniGraffle. Stencils, for Mac and iOS versions of OmniGraffle.
