Chart tool for displaying objects
I wanted to know what tools (preferably free ones) can be used to compose a collection of objects and their relationships - simple relationships like referencing members, inheritance, et.al attributes. I would prefer a tool with which I can create and update the diagram as quickly as possible.
I'm not familiar with UML, but that's probably what I'm asking for.

You also have StarUML , which is open source and similar to Rational Rose , a little simpler.

I really like Dia . It even has a portable edition !
It is small, fast, cross-operating system, easy to use, and has many built-in elements (specifically for UML modeling).
The only problem I can foresee for you is that it follows the GIMP GUI design (a separate window for the toolbar). I like it, but a lot of people hate it.
Keep in mind that these screenshots are pretty old:

It can also be written with Python .
