Drawing Economics Diagrams on PC

Hey,

Does anyone know a good software package that would enable me to draw economics diagrams- e.g. demand and supply analysis, Solow growth model diagrams etc. Something which I can then transfer into a MS Word file?

I've looked around but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly useful for economics diagrams. Previously I have just used lines in Word but it doesn't look so professional. What do the professional economists who write papers use?

Thanks

Paint does the job pretty well in all honesty...

This is something that I have made with MS Paint :biggrin:
The drawing tools on MS Word are sophisticated enough for most economics diagrams, I would have thought.
Rather than ask the same question, I thought I'd bump this topic. Just wondering, what -do- professional economists use?

I use Cabri Geometre II Plus. It's more of a geometry program for Maths students and until you get used to it it's quite tiresome, but it lets you use precise measurements and it looks great in the end.
