A spatial diagram is somewhere between a picture and a diagram.
On the one hand, it has a one-to-one visual relationship with the
physical object it represents, be it a hinge or a nation, a ball
point pen or a planet. On the other hand, spatial diagrams often
incorporate symbols such as words, numbers, and graphics. Spatial
diagrams often have keys to help users read the symbols.
- Maps vary in scale, level of detail,
and purpose (political, topographic, and so forth).
- Plans are usually on a smaller scale
and are often used to help people understand the layout of buildings
or compounds. They may be orthographic or use perspective.
- An elevation is a side view of a
structure, of the most recognizable view for many people.
- Mechanical or engineering drawings
show the outline and proportions of an object, like the front
of a camera manual showing what the strap or bettery looks like.
