TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have a question about naming conventions for exploded graphics. What do
you call and how do reference the exploded graphic. I currently am using
the following convention:
figure 4-4, exploded graphic A, icon 1
Since the exploded graphic is an enlarged view of a tool bar segment, would
I refer to it as figure 4-4, tool bar A, icon 1.
I have looked in the archives under a variety of terms trying to find
something about this topic with no success.
I have also looked in the MS Manual of Style for Technical Publications,
however the manual has no exploded graphics.
exploded graphics - a picture where a portion is enlarged for easier
viewing i.e., where A1 and B1 are part of the orignal graphic and A2 and B2
are the exploded view.
