6. Templates

Giorgio Buccellati – June 2010

6.2 Templates

6.2.1 Representation of Constituents

Use the Bezigon tool, pencil tool, and geometric shapes to delineate features as a volume. The lines should always be closed except for merging boundaries, see below. No shading or colors are allowed.

Use a solid thin line (1 pt) is used for to identify features…

Use a dotted line to represent merging boundaries.

Use a dashed line to represent projected boundaries, arbitrary closures, projected features. Examples: a reconstructed outline of a collapsed wall, or a floor seen in section which continues into the adjacent baulks but is not visible in the picture.

Whenever possible, type the constituent number (e.g., f34 or m4567) within the constituent itself, in the font Arial, 18pt or 14 pt, in either black or white. Do not use bold, italic or underline.

If the constituent number does not fit, then type it where appropriate, and use an arrow that will touch or reach within the constituent. (Arrows are twith a thin solid line)

6.2.2 Representation of Subviews

A template is produced only for a view. Subviews are indicated within a view by means of arrows.

The direction of the arrow represents the angle from which subviews are taken within a view.

Arrows are all thick solid lines.

The approximate area framed by a subview is indicated as follows:

straight solid line represents a regular subview
double solid line represents a wide shot
narrow thick solid line represents a tight shot
a 90° angle represents a direct overhead
a 45° angle represents an oblique overhead

6.2.3 Footnotes

A footnote (represented by an asterisk followed by a digit) may be used to point out a visually significant element of a feature, and included at the bottom of the page. However, the main text description of the template should be included in the view description in the journal.

6.2.4 File Names

Template file names are of the following format:

J03t001 V18d3043 P905 gM.jpg

J03t001		sequential number of the template, where the sequential number is identical to that of the corresponding view
V18d3043		the label of the photo that serves as the basis for the template
P905		the date when the template has been drawn
gM		the initials of the person who has drawn the template

6.2.5 Triple Filing

Templates are produced in Freehand, and saved in three ways:

as a Freehand file within the book’s G\T folder with the photo linked;
as a Freehand file within the book’s G\T\EMBED folder with the photo embedded;
within the book’s G\T\LoRes folder as a JPG file at 300 DPI resolution (this is the file used in the Browser Edition). When exporting the file to JPG, make sure that the Freehand options are set to 300 DPI and to 100% Image Quality.
