When graphic data must be plotted in predefined standard formats, templates or skeletal displays for those formats should be provided to aid data entry.
Additional Information:
In many applications, it may help to provide flexibility so that general prestored formats can be modified by a user and then saved for subsequent use. For example, sample displays might be stored in the computer to aid in creating standard graphs such as bar graphs, or standard diagrams such as organization charts, or page layouts for typesetting, or maps drawn to different scales or with different projections.
