An AddFlow diagram is a set of objects that can be linked each other. The objects are called nodes and the lines that connect objects are called links.
AddFlow provides two ways to build diagrams:
Interactive way (with the mouse): see the Quick Start of the help file in order to know how to interactively draw a diagram
Programmatic way with the AddFlow API
Following is a list of the main AddFlow features. Note that all those features are encapsulated in a small (375 Kb only), robust, fast and easy to use ActiveX component.

Links
Stretchable links. A link can be composed of many segments
Curved links (Bezier, Spline)

Reflexive links
Links having only vertical and horizontal segments
Ability to adjust the position of the first and last point of a link
20 arrow styles for links
Ability to customize the drawing of a link (OwnerDraw event)
Link autorouting
Nodes
Ability to associate a picture (bitmap, standard or enhanced metafile, icon, GIF, JPEG) to a node
Ability to customize the drawing of a node (OwnerDraw event)
46 distinct shapes for nodes
Custom shapes
Transparent nodes
Text alignment
Autosize options for nodes
Gradient color
Automatic graph layout
AddFlow does not directly provide any automatic graph layout feature. However we provide LayoutFlow, a set of four AddFlow graph layout controls:
HFlow (hierarchical layout)
OFlow (orthogonal layout)
SFlow (symmetric force directed layout)
TFlow (tree layout)
A demonstration of each of these products is available in the LayoutDemo sample.
