3.  Graphic libraries are essentially a collection of images or symbols that are accessible through an application.  Specialist applications, such as the ones we will look at in this presentation, make use of graphic libraries.  This allows the user to simply drag and drop images and symbols into their application.

4.  Microsoft produce an application called Visio.  Visio allows people to make different kinds of diagrams using graphic libraries.  Symbols can be dragged into the workspace.

5.  Kitchen design applications will have graphic libraries that have standard images and symbols for cupboards, draws, appliances, power sockets, doors, windows and table tops.

6.  Like with the kitchen design application, map makers can drag and drop symbols into a workspace.  The symbols are often standardised with Ordnance Survey and the Land Registry.

7.  Network designers can use industry-standard symbols to create network diagrams. However, as technology is changing rapidly, symbols are often becoming out dated.

9.  Explain how a graphic library could be used to produce a map for a driving competition. [4 marks]  Explain the benefits of using standardised graphic libraries over making up your own symbols. [4 marks]
