This was made for all those who teach or learn flowcharts and structograms, and for all those who simply want to print out the one or other huge colorful flowchart. :o)</p> <p>Have fun!<br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fm5n4s6ptcdw87z6lgr5z.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fm5n4s6ptcdw87z6lgr5z.png" alt="Have fun!" width="525" height="702"></a></p> showdev dotnet opensource education
