ERD Symbols and Meanings

Crow's foot notation is used in Barker's Notation, Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) and information engineering. Crow's foot diagrams represent entities as boxes, and relationships as lines between the boxes. Different shapes at the ends of these lines represent the cardinality of the relationship.
The Chen's ERD notation is still used and is considered to present a more detailed way of representing entities and relationships.
To create an ERD, software engineers mainly turn to dedicated drawing software, which contain the full notation resources for their specific database design - ERD symbols and meanings. CS Odessa has released an all-inclusive Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution for their powerful drawing program, ConceptDraw PRO.

Horizontal Flowchart

This sample was created in ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software using the Flowcharts solution from the Diagrams area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
A Flowchart is a graphically representation of the process, algorithm or the step-by-step solution of the problem. The Flowcharts have one or more starting and ending points. The geometric figures on the Flowcharts represent the steps of the process and are connected with arrows that show the sequence of the actions.

Bar Chart Template

Either working for a company or having your own business, you might need to create different drawings from time to time, such as the bar charts. Having the bar charts examples on the Internet usually means you cannot use them as your own drafts and so you cannot create any bar graph by using any of them. At the same time, if you have the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and drawings software, it means you can make any needed diagram, flowchart, scheme or chart, such as a bar one, easily having no doubts in getting the smart and the good-looking result.
The vector stencils library "Wireframe grid" contains 7 web page layout design patterns.
Use these grids to position content and widgets on your web pages using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal, and angular) or curved guide lines used to structure content. The grid serves as an armature on which a designer can organize graphic elements (images, glyphs, paragraphs) in a rational, easy to absorb manner. A grid can be used to organize graphic elements in relation to a page, in relation to other graphic elements on the page, or relation to other parts of the same graphic element or shape. ...
While grid systems have seen significant use in print media, interest from web developers has only recently seen a resurgence. Website design frameworks producing HTML and CSS had existed for a while before newer frameworks popularised the use of grid-based layouts. Some grid systems specify fixed-width elements with pixels, and some are 'fluid', meaning that they call for page element sizing to be in relative units like percentages, rather than absolute units like pixels or points." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Grid_ (graphic_ design)]
The webpage layout patterns example "Design elements - Wireframe grid" is included in the Website Mockup solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
