I am just wondering which program should I use to draw like the following system architecture in http://www.skelta.com/products/Workflow/architecture.aspx
I used visio before but I do not know how to get these shapes!
Have you tried Gliffy?

I want to create a 2D sprite that mimic the provided image:

and create different face expressions as provided sprites to unity3d in order to create an android application has multiple face expressions with those sprites... so my question... is what exactly the software I might use through out this process ??
Please, let me know the simplest step-by-step procedures, as I am in my first steps in computer graphics.
Thanks a lot.
Image manipulation is what you are looking for. To modify the current image you have and generate other facial expressions from it, you need to be very good at math. Image manipulation is not a basic stuff and I hope you are not new to programming.
Now that you understand that, you need OpenCV to be able to do this. You need to make a wrapper for it in c#. You can get the already made wrapper [here].1 https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/21088 .It works on Windows,Mac, Android and iOS and will save you time. Its NOT free but the price is worth it compare to the time you will spend building the wrappers for all platforms.
Once you get this, you can start learning OpenCV from the following link.

If you the Unity plugin I mentioned, you can ask the author of the plugin to help you out if you are tuck.
I'm looking for an example of multi-threading implementation inside the game toolkit? I have the MultiCube example, but that is for WinForms and I use WPF, and I can't use the game toolkit tools from Direc3D11 because I need an instance of the GraphicsDevice. The MultiCube example is not displaying anything but a black screen, I tried it on several computers. My video card doesn't support command lists, don't know if that has anything to do with it. I was wondering how many models can SharpDX handle, because I have to draw hundreds of small
scaffold couplers, and after adding about a 100 on the default GraphicsDevice, the application slows down and gets locked. Any help would be appreciated.

I was looking for the same thing but I couldn't find any examples. I tried converting the MultiCube example to use the toolkit and got it basically working, still very messy at the moment and needs optimizing, but at least it renders.

for a university project I have to compute a 3D mesh, then display it.
By mesh I mean a list of triangles, where each point has a specific elevation.
What is the easiest tool that exists both on windows and linux that would allow me to display such a mesh?
I just want to be able to visualize the mesh and rotate it, and I can code any specific mesh format needed to be used as an input.
What I mostly want is a tool that is easy to install for the final user of my program.
Almost every tool reads the .obj format, for example MeshMan, MeshLab and ArtOfIllusion. They all work under Windows and Linux. Geomview (.off-Files) is also great, but hard to install under Windows.
I'm using for this purpose osgviewer from OpenSceneGraph
I wouldn't know about the easiest tool, but have you tried Blender? It's cross platform.
There are some standard file formats for triangle meshes. Try outputing to .ply file and using one of the existing viewers for that.
I tend to use VTK file formats since I work in scientific visualization; that would be overkill for you.
In fact, I wrote a VTK/QT based app for viewing meshes that can handle .ply files https://github.com/HalCanary/vtkviewer.
I want to build a program that will (as part of what it's doing) display lines organically growing and interacting horizontally across the screen. Here's a sample image, just imagine the lines sprouting from the left and growing to the right:
The lines would look like the lines used on Google Maps Transit Overlay or OnNYTurf's transit pages.
It's a personal project, so I'm open to just about any language and library combination. But I don't know where to start. What have you used in the past to create graphics that are similar to this? What would you recommend? I want it to run on Windows without any extras needed (.Net is fine), and it doesn't have to run elsewhere. I needs to run as an actual program, not javascript in the browser.
There's obviously no 'right' answer to this, but the purpose isn't to start an argument about X better than Y but rather just find a list of graphics toolkits that do simple 2D graphics that people recommend because of their ease of use or community or whatever.
Processing may be just the tool for you.
Like you said, there are many ways to tackle this problem. Me personally, being it is a windows based project, I would go with the .NET based implementation utilizing WPF. There are tutorials on how to use the 2D drawing feature out there ( http://www.wpftutorial.net/DrawOnPhysicalDevicePixels.html for one ) Again, there is no right answer here. I might also pick some new technology and let your project be a mechanism to learn something new, providing you do not have a looming deadline.
Does anyone know how to draw queue network graphs that can be included within LaTeX documents?
See, e.g., the following examples at TeXample.net for the TikZ and PGF packages:
Graphs
Automata and Petri nets
Use METAPOST for your problem.
There are many ways to include drawings/graphs/images in your latex document.
The easiest way is just to draw the graph in your drawing program of choice, then export the graph to jpg or png (or eps if you're not using PDFlatex), then use the graphicx package ( \usepackage{graphicx} in your preamble), and include the graph in your document by using the code
\includegraphics[width=4in]{filename.jpg}
As indicated in other answers, there are several drawing languages that can be used with tex: metapost, tikz, and PGF are are powerful. There is also asymptote, another code based drawing language.
You could also use graphviz, which is excellent if your graph is large and you need graph something like network traffic. And dot2tex will turn your graphviz file into something latex can handle.
