Flowchart thumbnails

Thumbnails provide visual clues about elements and links. Elements in the Flowchart display thumbnails by default.

A given element may appear numerous times in the Flowchart, depending on its links. For the first occurrence of an

element, the original, the element appears at full opacity. Additional occurrences of an item, or its aliases, appear at

50% opacity. Original menus include buttons.

Button (A) links to timeline with end action linking back to menu. Menu appears twice, once as actual element (A), and once as alias (B).

Items used in the project, linked by using some path to the disc icon, appear in the upper pane of the Flowchart.

Unused items appear in the lower pane of the Flowchart.

Thumbnails also include type icons and info badges, and are joined with link lines.
