TKDraw

TKDraw is a simple graphics editor that produces Encapsulated Postscript (suitable to be included in LaTeX documents).

On cs.joensuu.fi:

    % tkdraw &

Here's a list of strange features:

Objects are moved with the RIGHT mouse button.
The drawing of a line is ended with the RIGHT mouse button (as the left mouse button just adds a new corner into the line).
Text fonts may be crude on the screen but (as the saved file is in Postscript) they will appear nice on paper. (Which is opposite to Microsoft products!)
Menus are tear-off menus: select the dashed line at the top of a menu and you will get the menu in its own window.
The top-left button (dashed rectangle) gives the point mode (denoted by an pointer arrow in many other drawing progrems).
The top-right button gives the resize/reform mode.

Everything else should be trivial to use.
