Tools for creating Class Diagrams

Question

Please suggest tools for creating Class Diagrams with the following criteria    It should be platform-independent because I use Linux and the file is expected to be edited by other members of the team using Windows Mac Free  because there no such free tool  we should create one It would also be nice if you can include a screenshot of the class diagram produced  just to make sure that the tool is actually used for creating Class Diagrams and not just any other types of diagrams   Also  please only suggest the tools that you ve actually used   UPDATE  Please DO NOT include those UML Diagram tools that cannot create Class Diagrams
