Rhythm
● Clearly separates branches.● When there is rhythm,
just a quick glance on the DRAKON chart is enough to see the branches.

The same width of icons on a skewer
Why do all iconson a skewer haveto be of the same width?
● The skewer looks like a singleentity
● No icons pop out. The variationof width does not distractthe reader
![Page 16: DRAKON Visual Language: Tutorial. Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052400/55a0f8ea1a28ab9b398b4619/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Only the icons that are partof the algorithm should be
of the same width
The widths of the headerand the “End” icon
should not be aligned withother icons

Common fate
What is“common fate”?
An obvious interconnectionbetween two or moreicons on different skewers
![Page 26: DRAKON Visual Language: Tutorial. Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052400/55a0f8ea1a28ab9b398b4619/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The “Show screen” icons have a common fate
![Page 27: DRAKON Visual Language: Tutorial. Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052400/55a0f8ea1a28ab9b398b4619/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Common fate
When do iconshave a common fate?
● When they performthe same or similar action,
● but have a difference thatdepends on the skewer
![Page 28: DRAKON Visual Language: Tutorial. Part 3](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052400/55a0f8ea1a28ab9b398b4619/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Icons with a common fate are alignedby the top edge

Summary
Beauty techniques on DRAKON charts:● metre ● rhythm ● same width ● air● common fate

Summary
Beauty techniques on DRAKON charts:● metre: the same distance between neighboring elements
● rhythm: an increased distance between silhouette branches
● same width: the same width of icons on a skewer
● air: enough space between the text and the border
● common fate: vertical alignment of interrelated icons
