“When you open the application (see Figure 1) you will
immediately see the difference between Dia and Kivio (and more of a
relationship to Microsoft Visio). Unlike Dia, Kivio offers a
multi-paned view with various tools available to make the job more
efficient.“Outside of the interface, one of the first differences you will
notice, between Dia and Kivio, is when you create an element on the
chart Kivio does not automatically ready that element for text
(like Dia does). If you want to add text to an element you first
create the element, then you select the text tool, click on the
element you just created, and type your text.”
