## Structure Views Quickly Show Structure and Relations

Understand for C++ structure views are designed to present essential information about an entity in a small and concise manner. The structure diagram is derived from the C++ Structure Graph presented by Booch and Buhr in their respective books "Software Engineering with Ada" and System Design in Ada". Where needed, the symbols and annotations have been extended or altered to represent the structures and relations used in C programs.
