That sounds like an answer to the output side, i.e. the need to
print org charts.

Related question -- Is there support for a digraph (directed graph)
*editor* in Python?  I'd like to be able to edit state diagrams
and FSMs (finite state machines).  I'm hoping to hook the Python
source code into my work on FSMs so that business rules and
processes can be encoded as FSMs.

I'm looking into PyUt.  The documentation talks about some UML
diagrams (class, sequence, and use case diagrams), but I have not
found support for state transition diagrams.  Maybe PyUt could be
extended.

Any other suggestions.

Dave
