I tend to create a large number of Visio-type graphics for inclusion
in my documentation. it isn't unusual for me to have 1-2 simple
graphics per page of documentation. These are usualy process flow
types, showing the process of how something works. My most recent
Visio was to show the process of locking records in a DB.
This question has to do with titling the graphic in Visio. My file
name is description of the purpose of the graphic and one it is
imported into FM, the figure title takes care of the identification.
However, I don't want the graphic to include a title in the
graphic...I just want the graphic. That means, my Visios don't have a
readable title. This is fine with me because between the file title
and the metadata, I kinow what it is. However, when I pass my
collection to the next person, they are going to be seeing a
titleless Visio and that bothers me.
What technique do any of you use out there?
