Flowcharting
This functionality enables Polar Draw to become a powerful flow charting tool. The link object is a special object that has the sole purpose of connecting shapes together. Since it is a real shape, you can set properties for it:

Arrowheads, style and size
Line color, thickness and style
Shape name, for easier identification

Object links in flowcharting:

Rectilinear and direct object links
Ability to edit nodes and links through source code
Object avoidance: auto-routing algorithm routes the connecting line around other objects
Adjusting the position of the first and the last point of a link

Vector drawing
Polar Draw comes with a set of predefined shapes, such as: Arcs; Dimension line; Rectangle; Curve; Ellipse; Line; Freeform polygons; Text; Diamond; Triangle; Right triangle; Parallelogram; Trapezoid; Hexagon; Octagon; Plus sign; Star; Pentagon; Left arrow; Scribble; Etc. You can subject shapes to:

Several raster imaging tools are @ your disposal:
