Do you diagram passages of Scripture or otherwise visually work the text for personal study, preparing to teach or preach, or to share with others? Please take this short survey to help us better understand your habits and needs. And feel free to reply to this thread with anything else you'd like to make sure we know. Thanks!

    This feature alone would be worth a feature upgrade!

    Here is a screen shot- I would prefer to have the notes on the right show up as a pop-up from a footnote, I have numerous SD's that I like to do this with- just a request

    I use the diagramming tool every week when I use Logos to prepare sermons.

    I use it in text flow and English only. I seldom use the diagramming shapes. I sometimes draw lines between words. One big problem is when you get to the bottom of a passage of scripture the window hides the bottom of the verses and it's extremely difficult to use.

    Here are a couple of links to animated GIFs to show what I mean: FIRST. and SECOND.

    You are basically Phrasing. BibleArc does a much better job of phrasing than Logos, but I would dump BibleArc if I could do proper Phrasing in Logos, especially if I could pull it up on my iPad. Arcing is a good method too, but I find it is more complex and takes more time than I often have to give when preparing. Phrasing is usually enough to understand the flow and relationships in a passage.
