[Ti] [OT] process flow diagrams on a Mac

[Kynan Shook]

I looked online, and the only PFDs I could find looked like they were  
just basic shapes, for the most part.  In any case, why reinvent the  
wheel?  It's very easy to make your own template in OmniGraffle.  I  
did this a few years ago when I needed to draw some circuit diagrams,  
before I found the Electronics template (or perhaps even before it  
existed, I'm not sure).

There should be a help document for creating and editing stencils.   
After that, you just have to make the shapes you want, then group  
them so that you can drag them around as one object.
