How can I draw flow chart using LaTeX?
306
To draw a flowchart, we will need TikZ package and some block shapes and arrows to start with, which we can find in shapes and arrows. meta libraries. We may also need positioning library to easily place our blocks. We will declare them and then create a tikzpicture environment.
The process can be viewed quickly, and the steps can be followed from the beginning to the end. The different shapes used in the diagram or chart are termed as flowchart symbols. Similarly, in latex, you can insert any flow chart or diagram anywhere using some commands.
I know it's not strictly using LaTeX, but the Graphviz suite of tools is pretty neat.
From the description:
The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in several useful formats such as images and SVG for web pages, Postscript for inclusion in PDF or other documents; or display in an interactive graph browser. (Graphviz also supports GXL, an XML dialect.)
Because the tools are command-line driven, there are ways to include Graphviz graphs in-line in LaTeX files, such as dot2texi.

Tikz is a good graphics library to do this (directly in Latex), here is an example of a flowchart made with it.
