Delphi - How to make a diagram?

Question

i've been with this problem for some time.. I want to make a diagram, made on runtime with the data that user enters in the other forms etc etc.

My first and actual option, was making cycles and then create the shapes / labels, and applying the shape.top to a variable and increasing it every cycle for like 120. this works great, but if i turn this into a more complex thing, it will give me a lot of work to create the shapes and controlling if they are in top of each other, and more, to connect them with a line.

So, there isn't a component that can help me with this? By the way, is there any component to connect with a simple line 2 objects visually? This would be a nice help too !

Thanks.

DelphiArea has a component called Simple Graph that does this type of thing.

I have never used it myself, but I found it today and was impressed with the demo application.
