Hi John,

If you are discussing those charts with diamonds, circles, boxes and lines,
I can't remember the last time I created a flowchart !
Using new F90+ coding structures and indenting code with a screen editor makes that micro approach obsolete.
A white board (or large sheets of paper) for a macro approach to code structure is more relevant today.

I am not aware of anything that is open source or freeware. There is Scitools' Understand Static Analysis Tool (just search for scitools understand) which supports Modern Fortran (and F77) quite well and can give you lots of flow charts and dependency charts. Its expensive but there is a free trial available.

Personally, I find flowcharts harder to create and understand than actual code. They are rarely used these days.

I agree with the comments. I don't think that I ever used a flowchart for programming. However, the same graphics and logic are very useful for creating event trees in quantitative risk analysis.
