Illustrations
This guide uses two types of illustrations. One depicts the AutoSketch screen
or some element onscreen. When this type of illustration is necessary, every
effort is made to depict the element exactly as it appears on the actual
display.
The other type of illustration demonstrates an action or principle. Each
element in a drawing of this type has a specific meaning. Here is a list of the
conventions used in procedural illustrations:
