Each of the reference images had different levels of detail (the ViewPlus one was very simple). I didn’t know what grade level we were aiming at, so I made the most complete example I could, since you can always remove complexity.
I added CSS style rules to simulate 3 different levels of complexity, for different grade school levels. I don’t know which ages/grades are appropriate for each, but I have simple, medium, and advanced. At the simple level, it just shows the cell wall, the cell membrane, the nucleus, the vacuole, and some chloroplasts; at the medium level, it adds the Golgi apparatus, the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, the ribosomes, the nucleolus (inside the nucleus), and the plasmodesmata; at the advanced level, it adds several more structures.
(You can simulate this by shrinking your browser window; the image will show everything when it’s wide, reducing in complexity twice as you make it more narrow.)
Maybe we should have some mechanism in the JIM that triggers different complexity level rules? That way, a single graphic document could serve different audiences.
Note: this context for this issue is in #18.
