graduated line

It takes a bit longer to set up because the cable should run in a graduated line to get the best zip.

At what stage does a graduated line become an elongated triangle?

The eye moves towards the thicker, heavier end of a graduated line.

Graduated lines can strengthen or weaken an arrow.

I had then been, to my puzzlement, photographed several times, from the neck up, front view and profile, against a type of chart, on which appeared various graduated lines, presumably some type of calibrating or measuring device.

I find it's more useful to look at them as distinct states as opposed to a graduated line, because it's easy to spend a lot of time and money on design but not move up in benefits the way you might expect.
