Create flow diagram programmatically [closed]

Question

I want to visualize components and connections of a HVAC system with .NET/C#. The diagrams will just include a few different components and their connections. They do not have to comply to any formal standard and should look alike the diagrams attached. In addition the user should be able to select a single component/connection (so that I can display additional data).

Which free drawing/charting library would you use and why?

Thanks for your time.
