It is not possible to make cells spanning more than one column. This is rel= ated to the fact that the cells are on a grid. It is also not possible to h= ave cells on e.g. half way down/left/right. Indeed this is a very useful module. Setting up a proper flowchart gives gr= eat insight in e.g. processes, workflows and alike. I have built many chart= s for the meat-processing industry. = The advantage of this module is that you can number the cell relatively. On= ly the first cell has an explicit position. So if you have to insert new ce= lls you have to look only for cells which could be outside of the grid, but= that is easier than to walk through the whole chart and renumber the cells. \startFLOWchart[Decisiontree] \startFLOWcell \name{Begin} \location {3,1} \shape{procedure} \text{Begin\\ decisiontree} \connection[bt]{Risc} \stopFLOWcell{\bf } \startFLOWcell \name{Risc} \location {+0,+1} % x,y \shape{action} \text{Danger} \connection[bt]{Question1} \stopFLOWcell =85 \stopFLOWchart Willi On 26 Apr 2012, at 09:30, Mari Voipio wrote: > Hi, > = > I've just fallen in love with the chart module, my first flowchart is > almost done.
