Hello and welcome to this as one in which we are going to discuss the software or the platform to be
used for drawing your flowchart usually if you are a pen and paper man.
You can use up in unpaid bills to write your own flowchart but a few are more digital man than pen and
paper man.
You can move to more digital solution on your laptop or tablet and there is a lot I recommend only two
solutions.
The first one is Microsoft Visio This is a software provided by Microsoft and from its images you can
see that it provide a very sophisticated interface for drawing flow charts as you can see.
And both programmers use it now as you can see it has a lot of templates that you can use but it's paid
it's not free.
And when you are using it you need to know that it's paid.
I recommend it if you have money but if you don't have money you are going to look for a more portable
and a solution that you can use on your tablet your own pie and your laptop which is the second service
that I'm going to recommend which is home side called draw that I owe as you can see this is a flow
chart maker site.
It's called Road Io.
As you can see here.
And it allows you to save on your device or you can change storage and save to Google Drive or one drive
depending on which of these do have account and you can change the language by choosing your own language.
Here supports almost every language I would choose device to save.
So now it's asking you Do you want to open existing diagram or create new diagram since we are new to
this platform.
We are going to create a new diagram.
But once you create a diagram you can save it and you can open it later to edit it using the same platform.
It's free.
You don't have to be anything you can use it on your laptop tablet or mobile phone.
And it's very easy and useful service let's solve by creating new on.
Now you have templates here.
If you clicked engineering you can see that we have engineering templates flowchart templates and a
lot of other templates you have labs work other software as you can see you can use any of these templates
if you want.
I will go with basic blank there.
Graham and let's call it test
now.
Let's create our template
create.
Now here we have the main interface for our Web site.
As you can see here we have a menu just like in the real life software.
You can always feel using Google Chrome.
You can click if 11 to open the website and full screen.
And if you want to exit full screen you can click if eleven again so let's open it up in full screen.
Now we have the file.
You can create new or save save as you can a name or you can make a copy.
You can import from the drive or other services or from your device you can export as image or be the
f flushed him out.
It has a lot of options.
You can even create libraries and you can print or change the page set up if you want a larger page
8 4 or 3 depending on your needs.
It is the same as every edit menu and all software could be based and to redo that view.
You can view layers format panel outline.
You can view the search and you can view the grid.
This is the grid as you can see now it's gone white.
This is the grid showing and you can show the guides remove them
you cancel shadow connection arrows and connection points.
I prefer that you leave all of this to default.
Now you can arrange different items after adding them.
You can't change.
You can choose different themes and now if you want to view the website on your theme you need to reload
K theme.
This is the new theme.
You can choose the dark theme if you like.
Dark
as you can see this is the dark theme.
But since some blending I don't want to talk about theme.
The light is more user friendly.
Now again here we have mathematical typesetting.
You can create your own shapes you can edit the diagram.
You can add plugins and you can use the help to download that draw on your desktop version or use it
for off line.
You don't have to be online all the time to use it or you can simply download this product.
I go online so that you can use it with your windows.
Mac was Linux or Chrome OS.
So all what you need to do is simply download that it's a file.
Now it's downloading will take some time.
So let's proceed let's go back
now.
Here is our element.
You can't drag your elements that you are going to use the most here in this area so that you can keep
using them.
This menu can be used to increase or decrease the viewing area.
Again you can zoom in and out using these patterns undo redo delete out arrange items changed the coloring
or add connection lines or points or consider different shapes from here we are going to use this menu
in the General tab as you can see here.
We have most of the items that we did introduce in our exhibition.
As you can see these two items are for fast on strobe.
This is the processing item.
This is it is the decision making item this is the input output item floor line.
If you want to use it and we have here with a predefined process here we have a circle which is the
symbol used to connect different floor lines so most of our items are here and we can easily use them
or you can click flowchart.
Listen move this and use these items that are specified specifically for floor charting.
As you can see this is the elements used to find additional information and these are all right.
So this is how to add different items for your flowchart.
This is a platform that we are going to use and the software that we did in a store
lets set up the software.
And the next lesson.
That's it for this lesson in which we did introduce different options to write your own flowchart.
Thanks for watching.
See you next.
Happening from all of us here at Coding Academy.
