Maybe I wasn't clear about that I eventually want to have the legend
somewhere, ideally in the SVG file, so readers know right from the start
how to look at the flowchart. In that case I meant that the CS and EP in
each node would be superfluous (at least I would be bothered by them).
Please bear also in mind, that the pictures I have sent so far were never
"advertised" as ready-to-ship products. I just wanted to know if people
here are interested in my work.
Anyway, thanks for your comments.
