Introduction
JAIDraw is a drawing program allowing normal object (vector) based drawing. In addition you can connect objects by lines. The connections will be kept even if you move objects around. We use it to draw pictures of computer networks. JAIDraw 1.5.1 is backwards compatible to version 1.1.
