The vector stencils library Map symbols contains 19 icons for labeling the maps using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
The vector stencils library Subway map contains 41 shapes for creating the subway (tube, metro) maps using the ConceptDraw PRO.
"The various features shown on a map are represented by conventional signs or symbols. For example, colors can be used to indicate a classification of roads. Those signs are usually explained in the margin of the map, or on a separately published characteristic sheet.
Some cartographers prefer to make the map cover practically the entire screen or sheet of paper, leaving no room "outside" the map for information about the map as a whole. These cartographers typically place such information in an otherwise "blank" region "inside" the map -- cartouche, map legend, title, compass rose, bar scale, etc. In particular, some maps contain smaller "sub-maps" in otherwise blank regions—often one at a much smaller scale showing the whole globe and where the whole map fits on that globe, and a few showing "regions of interest" at a larger scale in order to show details that wouldn't otherwise fit." [Map. Wikipedia]
The example "Design elements - Subway map, Map symbols" is included in the Directional Maps solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Entity Relationship Software

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a leading data modeling tool that is used to illustrate the logical structure of database, helps to organize and represent your project's data in terms of entities, attributes and relationships. To describe the database structure usually is used the ERD Chen's or Crow's Foot notation. Chen's notation supposes the representation of entities by rectangles with the entities names inside, relationships by diamonds and attributes by ovals connected with a line to exactly one entity. In Crow's Foot notation the boxes are used to depict the entities and their attributes, the lines between them - to depict relationships. ConceptDraw PRO software extended with Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution is convenient and useful for designing the ER Diagrams, and supports the use of Chen's or Crow’s Foot notation according to your needs and desires. The ERD diagrams produced with ConceptDraw PRO Entity Relationship Diagram software can be successfully used in whitepapers, presentations, posters, datasheets, technical materials, etc.

"Page Setup Dialog ... allows the user to set the following attributes of the printed page: (1) The paper type (envelope, legal, letter, and so on). (2) The paper source (manual feed, tractor feed, sheet feeder, and so on). (3) The page orientation (portrait or landscape). (4) The width of the page margins."
