Pixillion will create a file list and display the icon of the selected image on the right side:

Posted by
Martin Gomez
Whether you’re trying to read and follow a flowchart, or creating your own for your work industry; it is important to know what the different symbols and arrows mean for a deeper understanding of your project. Perhaps you learned about these flowchart symbols in school, but if you didn’t, this post will explain in detail what all the shapes and arrows in a flowchart actually mean.
You can begin to visualize your ideas and start creating flowcharts using our ClickCharts Diagram & Flowchart Software.
ClickCharts displays 4 different types of arrows. These can be straight or have a potential squiggle to help emphasize a certain step in your process.
When using ClickCharts simply choose the oval and drag it onto your flowchart.
Rectangles are also used to depict basic tasks or actions taken in a flowchart.
This symbol is often found in the beginning, or the middle of a flowchart, and it is often the least used shape.
This symbol is often found directly after a diamond or near the end of a flowchart.
Now that you have knowledge of these symbols, you have the building blocks to begin using them on your own. With ClickCharts Diagram & Flowchart Software, you will be able to use these along with many more symbols to begin creating your flowcharts quickly and easily.
