Have you ever used a diagraph for your projects?

No, I haven't, but I've heard they can be really helpful.

Yeah, they combine a protractor and scale, which is great for precision.

That sounds useful! I might need to get one for my next design.

Root Explanation

Diagraph → It is formed from "dia-" (meaning through or across) and "grapho" (meaning to write or draw). The word refers to a method of writing or drawing that involves going through or across something, often used in the context of diagrams or illustrations.

Memory Tip

Think of 'writing' ('grapho') that goes 'through' or 'across' ('dia-') something — that's what a diagraph does.
