javascript org chart
At this URL:

There is source code for a really nifty UML layout tool (also writes Java
code).  It will eventually have the UML variant of XML built into it.

I can't think of any reason why the other graphic widgets (boxes, etc)
couldn't be hijacked to draw org charts.  Shoot, why couldn't each block in
an org chart be a UML Class?
