01What it is

A studio for structural graphics: a process, a model, a relationship between parts. You define the structure and Gyrium renders it in your design system, so a diagram looks like it came from your organization.

Schema Studio asks what relationship you want to show, with three suggestions to start from.

02Why it matters

Diagrams are where brand consistency usually collapses. They get made once in whatever tool was open, and they never match the deck they sit in. A diagram built from structure can be restyled, reused, and corrected without being redrawn.

03How it works

The diagram is held as a definition, and rendered through the same brand path as every other visual. Changing the brand changes the diagram. Changing the structure re-renders it.

You build it from what you already know. Pick a source, and its facts arrive grouped, ready to fold into the shape you chose. A box whose label is one of your facts still traces back to the document that fact was read from, the same as any other claim.

Gyrium also tells you whether a set of things is a diagram at all. Three to seven belongs in a schema, eight to twenty wants a table, and fewer than three is a sentence. It counts what you actually hold and says which one you have.

There is nothing to drag, and no colour to pick. That is deliberate: a diagram nobody has positioned by hand is one that can still re-lay itself for a narrower page and still take your new colours on a rebrand. The moment you could move a box it would quietly become a picture again. You see it on all three backgrounds at once, because a palette that separates cleanly on white can go almost flat on your own colour.

04How to use it
  1. Open Schema Studio.
  2. Define the structure.
  3. Render it in your brand.
  4. Place it in an Expression.
05Q&A
Is this a drawing tool?

No. You describe the structure; the rendering is ours to keep on-brand.

What happens when our brand changes?

The diagrams change with it, because they were never flattened into pictures.

06Limits & not-yet

The composer does not yet reach for a diagram on its own; placing one is a deliberate choice.
