## PDFs with Graphical Depictions of CWE (2.1) The following PDF files provide graphical representations of various CWE views, which provides a way of quickly seeing the structure implied by the parent relationships in those views. Some files provide "coverage graphs," in which the members of a smaller view are highlighted within the context of a larger view. This provides a way to see how the entries of the smaller view are organized by the larger view.
