Graphic Sources / Text Features

Maps, charts, diagrams, illustrations, captions, and photos are examples of graphic sources. These additional visual text features help a reader better understand information as we we read or add additional information that was not discussed in the text. These examples also organize information into easy to read and quick to understand visuals.
