Close your eyes for a minute and picture the amount of visual information
that comes to you on any given day. Magazines, newspapers, reports,
television programs, and presentations illustrate a great deal of information
in the form of charts, tables, graphs, diagrams, and technical drawings. These
graphical elements often convey ideas far more quickly and clearly than long,
boring paragraphs. You don't typically think of charts, diagrams, and graphs
as art, but they are graphical, and this is where Visio comes in.
Although Visio is easy to use, you can benefit from a bit of explanation before
you jump right in creating drawings. In this chapter, you become familiar with
what you see on the Visio screen and find out how Visio works conceptually.
