There is BeagleDraw from Beagle Bros, but I have no experience with it...
Also, the AppleWorks GS graphics program is a draw program.

BTW: didn't StyleWare go out of business?  I know they originally made
MultiScribe, the original GS graphics-based word processor.  It was my
understanding that they were working on an integrated progrtam when
Claris bought it from them, finished it off, and released it as AppleWorks
GS.  That would explain why MultiScribe and the AWGS word processor are so
similar.  (note: I am basing this on things I have heard in the past).

I think I saw a version of TopDraw at Babbages Computer Store the other
day, I was kinda surprised since I thought they had gone out of business
years ago! (either that or Claris took them over, or something).
