diagram

I want to create an "architecture diagram" to explain our Software (libraries, Eclipse RCP, modules, features, etc.).

  1. What is the correct name for such diagrams?
  2. What is a good tool to create them? (I tried Visio and Enterprise Architect but didn't find a feature for that)

You can use whatever program you want as long as it can draw colored shapes.

Some people I know use PowerPoint, since you can make nice designs with it.

Or in Visio: New->General->Block Diagram. You can alter the design by right click->format->line. (You can make it more beautiful but I didn't want to spend to much time)
