Diagram Composer

The chess diagram composer is a small utility, unrelated to Jin, I wrote recently. It allows you to create an image of a position on a chess board (without having to take a screenshot of your favourite chess program's board). This, however, is not the main point - in addition to the image itself, the diagram composer gives you a URL to the image, which you can then post on your blog, or some chess forum. It's a fun little utility, and it allows a great deal of customization - from changing the piece set to adding a title to the diagram.
