They seem very similar to those that are output by omnigraffle.

Thanks Justin.
But this is a Mac software ,does anyone know some similar tools can
use in Windows or,at least, Linux.

Other applications capable of charting include:

Adobe Illustrator
Microsoft Powerpoint
Microsoft Visio
and more

A quick google for charting application or vector graphics editor should do the trick. Although OmniGraffle is probably the "best" one out there (in terms of ease of use to quality of output)

I'm partial to Inkscape (freely available as open-source) that
runs on Linux, Windows, and likely Mac.

It seems that lnkscape does not fit enough to draw flow chart .

There is also 'dia' available in most repositories, i use it on
Ubuntu.

It's pretty basic, but gets the job done.

I have tried 'dia' and found it is too simple to implement the effect
I want.

Have a look at GraphViz: http://www.graphviz.org/ It's really
powerfull and cool.
There are alsp Python bindings to the dot language used to create such
graphs at: http://code.google.com/p/pydot/
I'm using GraphViz to generate tree graphs in a Django application.
