Analytic depictions
Analytic depictions enable you to identify different states of symbols on diagrams based on information specified in them. The symbol is adorned with a second metafile image that you specify (in USRPROPS.TXT) to appear next to the symbol on any of its edges (right, left, top, or bottom).
