Brian,

I'm not that familiar with Diagram Studio (or LibreDraw (unless that's the 
LibreOffice drawing component)), so hopefully my suggestions target your 
needs. From a brief search, it looks like Diagram Studio does vector 
graphics with an emphasis on flowcharts. You may want to check out:

Dia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_(software)
Xfig: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfig

For generic vector graphics, Inkscape:

Personally, I have been looking to do vector drawing more pragmatically 
with Diagrams: http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams/

If I'm mistaken and what you really wanted was a raster painting program, 
Krita is a good bet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krita

Best,
Jack
