Answer 1

You mean one of those diagrams that looks a bit like a "wheel of fortune" in a casino gone wild, but with a couple of words written outside of it?

Your only hope is to use a low level graphics program that can draw straight lines and fill in pixels. These are available in both VB and C#. Then you just have to compute the coordinates of everything, and fill in the dots. You also need a routine that can plot text at an angle. Failing this, write your own routine that manipulates a typeface that you have to design yourself.

Most computer programmers would consider spear diagrams to be an attempt to cloak fuzzy data in an aura of legitimacy. So it is pretty unlikely that anybody has already written a set of routines, it is all up to you!

There is a substantial amount of work involved in this project, and almost no reward.
