Prior researchers have identified charter documents as texts that serve an outsize role in stabilizing social reality and mediating work, writing, and network building. While charter documents are typically authoritative and text-only tomes, this article expands the category to include charter graphics, visual texts that serve similarly important genre and network functions. Through retrospective analysis of one charter graphic and its role in a decade-long project by a nonprofit organization, this article demonstrates the potential rhetorical, social, and network functions of charter graphics; distinguishes them from charter documents; and offers suggestions for both practitioners and researchers.

先前的研究人员已将章程文件确定为在稳定社会现实和调解工作、写作和网络建设方面发挥巨大作用的文本。虽然章程文件通常是权威的和纯文本的大部头，但本文扩展了该类别以包括章程图形、视觉文本，这些文本具有同样重要的流派和网络功能。通过对一个宪章图形及其在非营利组织长达十年的项目中的作用的回顾性分析，本文展示了宪章图形的潜在修辞、社交和网络功能；将它们与章程文件区分开来；并为从业者和研究人员提供建议。
