Hey all,

As well as using Visio for technical and engineering purposes I like using to create persuasive diagrams.

I'm looking to create something that uses similar shapes to those used here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CapabilityLandscapewithlabels.jpg

Does anyone know where I can locate a library like this, paid or free?

You can import SVG files into Visio, which can be exported from Adobe Illustrator.

Also, Visio will handle transparency in PNG files (so you can have non-rectangular shapes--no blocky bitmap backgrounds.)

Fancy artwork in used in Visio diagrams need not be exclusively created as Visio shapes.
