A library of illustrative pictures comes with the program and others are available separately for separate purchase. Symbols include people, industrial images, transportation vehicles, city and country maps, flow chart symbols, arrows, office equipment and other images. Images of your own choosing can be imported, assuming you have the knowledge to access and import those images. The symbols may be directly overlaid on top of the chart being created, and sized and proportioned in any manner desired. Symbols add interest and sparkle to otherwise less interesting presentations of factual information.
Symbols readily communicating information can direct the viewers thought in a particular direction.
A symbol can also be used to identify and distinguish information readily. Thus all information related to a particular subject can be identified with a corresponding. An exceptionally simple communication program which comes with the Harvard Graphics program allows you to transmit the graphics files direct from your desk immediately by modem to order color slides, transparencies and color prints. The time it takes to set up the program is only a few minutes, and once an account is set up, it is a simple fast procedure to have it transferred by telephone. Harvard Graphics is simple to use.
