You might want to check out texmacs, xfig. xfig produces nice .fig which
which can be exported to .ps and then be included in your latex files. With
texmacs, you can typeset the documents (just like latex) and it comes with
its own diagram drawing tools. If you have some greek symbols,
superscripts, subscripts in your diagram, then I am pretty sure you will be
much more better off with texmacs than dia, xfig.
