devFlowcharter

devFlowcharter is a small software application whose purpose is to help you create program flowchart, generate source code, as well as compile and execute the results. The utility can also be used for educational purposes during procedural programming classes.

The advantages of being portable

The tool comes in a portable package which can be deployed on your system without having to go through installation steps. Plus, your Windows registry doesn’t get bloated with unnecessary entries.
You may copy the program on any USB flash drive or other devices and take it with you whenever you need to create flowcharts from XML files on the fly.

User interface and importing/exporting options

devFlowcharter sports a user-friendly environment that gives you the possibility to move the flowchart across the workspace using the drag-and-drop support.
The flowchart is generated by importing data from XML files, and you may also print the information or save it to XML, BMP or JPG file format. Additionally, the tool keeps a list with recently opened files.

Info about data types, functions and global declarations

As soon as you load a custom XML, devFlowcharter automatically reveals its flowchart along with some details about global variables (e.g. name, type, size, initial value) and constants (e.g. name, value), functions (description/prefix, header, formal parameters, local variables), as well as data types (e.g. field, type, size).

Working with an explorer, navigator and code editor

The tool includes a built-in explorer where you can browse throughout the entire project, navigator for analyzing the flowchart, as well as a code editor. devFlowcharter gives you the possibility to generate code and edit it, compile the code, print the information, find and replace words, highlight code, and enable code folding.

Several configuration settings

There’s support for several tweaking options that help you enable the syntax check mode (for assignment, function call, case statement, conditional statement and other options), automatically update the code when the project changes, and alter the color for various elements (e.g. font, gutter, selection, background, numbers, brackets).

Bottom line

All in all, devFlowcharter offers a straightforward software solution for helping you create, compile, generate and execute programming codes.
