It seems very simple, but I'm newbie with diagrams in LaTeX. I would be glad if I receive some help.

  • Welcome, it would be of great help to all if you could provide your code, so that we know what packages you seek helps from and let us know where you stumbled.

  • You could at least provide a minimal document with the text from the image so people who wish to help don't have to copy from the screenshot or start from scratch. Have a look at any of the drawing packages. The diagram is pretty simple, so you should be able to make a start if you want to.

Finally I did it.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows,positioning}
\begin{document}

\tikzstyle{block} = [draw, rectangle, minimum height=3em, minimum width=3em]
\tikzstyle{virtual} = [coordinate]

\begin{tikzpicture}[auto]
    % Place nodes
    \node [virtual]                 (input)                        {};
    \node [block, right of=input, node distance=4cm]   (trule)     {Transformation Rules};
    \node [below of=trule]          (vrule)                        {Validation Rules};
    \node [virtual, right of=trule, node distance=4cm] (output)    {};
    \node [left of=input]           (rinput)                       {A};
    \node [right of=output]         (routput)                      {B};
    % Connect nodes
    \draw [->] (input) -- node [name=i] {\(Input\)} (trule);
    \draw [->] (trule) -- node [name=o] {\(Output\)} (output);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Thanks to everyone, specially A Feldman and AJN.

    +1 for answering your own question. For the next time put your initial try at answering (a MWE) into your question rather than in an answer.

That's what I have done [special thanks to A Feldman for link].

    \documentclass{article}

    \usepackage{tikz}
    \usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows,positioning}
    \begin{document}

    \tikzstyle{block} = [draw, rectangle, minimum height=3em, minimum width=3em]
    \tikzstyle{virtual} = [coordinate]

    \begin{tikzpicture}[auto, node distance=4cm]
        % Place nodes
        \node [virtual]                 (input)     {};
        \node [block, right of=input]   (trule)     {Transformation Rules};
        \node [below of=trule]          (vrule)     {Validation Rules};
        \node [virtual, right of=trule] (output)    {};
        \node [left of=input]           (rinput)    {Hello};
        \node [right of=output]         (routput)   {World};
        % Connect nodes
        \draw [->] (input) -- node [name=i] {$input$} (trule);
        \draw [->] (trule) -- node [name=o] {$output$}(output);
    \end{tikzpicture}

    \end{document}

But there is too much space between the words and the diagram.

  • Good looking MWE!

  • Where it says node distance=4cm, what happens if you make it smaller?

    Rather than setting a large value for node distance=4cm for the whole picture, set it for individual blocks which you know to be large. e.g, \node [virtual, right of=trule, node distance=3cm] (output) {};
