simple graphics in latex

[Shao Zhang]

Hi,
        I need to include some simple graphics(boxes, triangles, similar to a 
flow chart) in
        my latex document.

        I am wondering: Will it be easier to use gimp and xfig to draw the 
chart first and then
        include it in latex as a picture, OR use some sort of latex packages to 
do it straight in
        latex.

        Which method will you recommand? And How do i do it??

        Thanks.

Shao.
