7. A linear text is how an ordinary essay, poem, novel, or drama is written:
without pictures, from left to right, and top to bottom, observing certain
grammatical patterns and mechanical rules like indentions, margins,
punctuations marks, and spacing.
A nonlinear text, on the other hand, is how a graph, a table, a chart, or
diagram is written, and reading it may begin from bottom to top, from the center
to the margins, or in the case of a photograph, from background to foreground,
depending on which detail the person looking at it would like to scrutinize or pay
close attention to.

8. Transcoding information from a linear text to a nonlinear one
means converting this information from one form of representation
to another. For example, information like "Recycle," No smoking, "
and "Ladies room" are transcoded through the following nonlinear
representations or signs below:
