A flowchart consists of pathways constructed from elements. The pathways flow through the linked levels. The description of the flowchart builds the image by identifying the focus and locus elements and drawing them together into pathways that describe the content.
The description for a flowchart needs to reference the following data:
-
The title of the chart.
-
The structure of the chart (number of levels and labeled entries).
-
The primary level is the focus element.
-
The other levels and choices are the locus elements.
