    Illustration: I used a floor plan with columns to represent points. Where you see full black dots, those are columns being displayed on a floor plan. They represent columns this way, because columns are round in nature and would look this way if you were looking at then from an aerial view.

   Illustration: I chose an illustration of a, what seems to be an enormous wooden pole. I chose this image because, its funny and its represents a line. It is a continuous pole from point A(top) to point B (bottom).

  Illustration: I chose a column to show volume. This column is round and thick. The thickness gives the column volume.
