I've made a lot of use of a tool called Graphviz (see
<http://www.graphviz.org/> for downloads.  It is basically a compiler
for its' own flowchart-definition language, and makes nice pictures.  It
has a lot of clever algorithms to find multiple links, things that
should be closer to each other, etc.  Kind of hard to explain, go check
it out!  It's supported on Unix, OS X, and, I believe, there is a
Windows port.
