Hi Max,
Currently, a flow diagram can easily be created in ChartDirector with text boxes (BaseChart.TextBox), lines (BaseChart.addLine) and shapes (DrawArea.polygon).
The difficult part is how to layout the boxes. It is easy if the layout is pre-defined and fixed, but would be difficult if the layout is dynamic and needs to work for arbitrarily flow charts.
In real applications, a flow chart usually needs to be interactively created, instead of automatically. Because ChartDirector is currently focused on automatic chart generation, we do not yet have plans for flow charts.
