vim/emacs, choose your poison ;)
It's just a plain text file that you edit manually, it's nothing fancy.
Please see [1,2].
After editing, do

  $ dot -Tpng cc-ms.dot -o cc-ms.png

Dot is part of graphviz, here[3] is a preview of the result.
Maybe there is a way to give dot some hints how to arrange the graph so 
that is looks a bit more like the original.

Kind regards,
