1 Start cap
Symbol shown at the start of lines. Caps can be arrowheads, hooks, or terminal lines.
2 Line body

main part of a line and extends across its entire length or height.

Text shown in addition to caps, either centered in the middle of each line segment or only at
the start or end of lines. On vertical lines, text reads upwards by default.

can be arrowheads, hooks, or terminal lines.
