| description | "A picture is worth a thousand words" is an eloquent statement of the
critical role visual representation performs in communicating information.
Whether it be in print or non-printed form such as the computer screen, a
visual representation can communicate an idea or a concept or a body of
information in a way which is more effective, economical and elegant than

dependent on both the type of representation that is used and how it is used
in relation to the text that accompanies it, as well as the intended target
audience. This subject is precisely the focal concern of Appropriate
Illustrations for Appropriate Functions: The Taxonomy of Illustration
