Preparing Diagrams for Presentation and Collaboration

Now that we know how to create process diagrams automatically and manually, we will now focus on making them more inviting to our intended audience. We are more likely to induce others to collaborate with our diagrams if they are visually appealing and accurate. This can be done by using themes and variants to quickly apply colors, effects, and connector styles, or by using automatically applied visual elements, data graphics, to highlight specific data values. In this chapter, we will learn about the options available to us.

In this chapter, we will cover the following key topics:

  • Using themes to enhance the appearance of pages
  • Applying different styles to shapes
  • Adding data graphics to highlight information
  • Using layers to control visibility and color
  • Considering accessibility
  • Options for multi-language versions
