Menu
How can I create a vertical arrow with text (in vertical position) in Dia? Creating an arrow without text it trivial obviously, but I couldn't figure out how to make the text vertical.
Or if you could recommend an alternative Linux software for diagrams then I would also be grateful. I need eventually to generate an eps output.

Usage. Start the rotation by selecting "Simple Rotation" from the Objects menu. If rotation made your objects disappear, select View->Best Fit from the menu.
Entering Text. Text can be entered by selecting the object, entering text edit mode and then typing the text. The font, size, alignment, and other formatting properties can be changed by double-clicking the object, when not in text edit mode. Many Dia objects suport in-canvas editing of text.
On the Home tab -> Paragraph section there are 3 options for horizontal and 3 options for vertical text alighnment. You can do the same thing with the right-click menu -> Format -> Text which brings up the Text dialog where, on the Paragragh tab, you can select the vertical alignment.
There's a YouTube video explaining text rotation in Dia:
