: This article is about the diagram-creation software. For other meanings, see Dia (disambiguation).

Dia is a general-purpose diagram creation software program, developed as part of the GNOME project.

It's conceived in a modular way with several shape packages for different needs: flowchart, network diagrams, circuit diagrams, etc.

Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program ' Visio'. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.

It can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by default, to save space), can export diagrams to EPS or SVG formats and can print diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages).
