I've used & liked a package called "allClear". I think it's the only one that does the drawing of the boxes/lines/etc. for you. You type your text for the chart in a outline-type syntax. It then draws the flowchart. You can then modify the formatting/appearance. This has the advantage that if you need to make revisions, just make your edits in the outline. All the lines/boxes will get adjusted automatically. It doesn't work perfectly but close enough after some fiddling with the final formatting. allClear does cost money. Can't remember how much. I rarely get by without revisions so I liked this package. If any other package has this feature, I would like to hear about it.
