I use xfig for documentation for this purpose. I would say every
vector-based painting tool would be ok.

Sometimes it is possible to just print the output of your waveform
display tool to a postscript file and use this for documentation.

XFig's repetetive copy operation is great for the otherwise tedious
drawing of periodic signals such as clocks.

Aren't we supposed to finish documentation *before* starting to write
(never mind simulate) code?

Somewhat expensive but very powerful, you can enter min/max delays and
constraints and it will show you graphically (or spreadsheet view) if
you meet timing, along with a bunch of other features.

It seems more suitable for board design, but could also be useful for
FPGAs/ASICs.

We're supposed to get the job done
and have it work. Style is secondary.
If I work top down only, I can't run
a sim until I'm almost done.

For my diploma thesis I've used the latex package called "timing".
