Well, it's not the best editor I've seen. It's a bit slow isn't it? ;)

I wrote something myself last year (I think, or perhaps 2 years back) that is supposed to look like 
Powerpoint. It's a bit faster and has some more features (but I haven't added image generation which would be 
nice, it's just plain ol' static html so you can't save either). It's far from finished (far from all of the 
buttons and menu alternatives have functionality) and has some bugs (duh!) since it was just an experiment but 
it's quite nice (fun?) anyway.

You can test it out at: http://mweb.se/graph/grapheditor.html

Feel free to grab whatever you want (although the code isn't too nice to read :). I've written everything 
myself except for a couple of small scripts (there are comments about it in those files).

The editor only works in IE (I suppose 6 but 5.5 might work, haven't had the possibility to test now) and 
there is a quirk when the DHTML windows open (you'll see what I mean, just right-click on a shape and choose 
Format shape...).

Have fun!
