Definition | The physical characteristics of a nonprojected graphic material. |
| VIS | Use for pictures, charts, technical drawings, and other nonprojected graphic materials published separately or as individual components of a kit. |
| All formats | 007 is valid in all formats so you can code for the physical characteristics of the parts of an item such as accompanying material. |

Subfields | |
| ‡a Category of material | The category of material to which the item belongs is a nonprojected graphic, which is generally a two-dimensional pictorial representation, often opaque (e.g., drawing, photoprint or print) or transparent and not intended to be projected for viewing (e.g., a photographic negative). |
| ‡b Specific material designation | A one-character alphabetic code that describes the special class of material (usually the class of physical object) to which an item belongs (e.g., a picture). A fill character (  ) is used when no attempt has been made to code this position. | a | Activity card. A card printed with words, numerals, and/or pictures to be used by an individual or a group as a basis for performing a specific activity. | | c | Collage. An original work created by affixing various materials (paper, wood, newspaper, cloth, etc.) to a surface. | | d | Drawing. An original visual representation (other than a print or painting) made with pencil, pen, chalk, or other writing instrument usually on paper or similar nonrigid support. | | e | Painting. A painting is defined as an original visual representation produced by applying paint to a surface. | | f | Photomechanical print. Any picture produced in imitation of another picture through the use of photographic process to transfer the image to a printing surface. Hence, a snapshot made to document a painting or a Xerox copy of a print are considered photomechanical reproductions. Art reproductions are included here. | | g | Photonegative. Defined as a piece of film, a glass plate, or pattern on which a negative image appears, i.e., directly opposite to a positive image (photoprint), slide, or transparency, used to produce a positive print. | | h | Photoprint. Photoprints have a positive image made either directly or indirectly on a sensitized surface by the action of light or other radiant energy. The term photoprint rather than photograph is used here as a more precise term than photograph, which technically can cover both the print and the negative. Opaque stereographs are included here. | | i | Picture. Use if a more specific designation does not apply. | | j | Print. Design or picture transferred by using an engraved plate, wood block, or other medium. Planographic, relief, intaglio, stencil prints, etc. | | k | Poster. | | l | Technical drawing. Cross-sections, details, diagrams, blueprints, etc. | | n | Chart. Defined as an opaque sheet that exhibits data in graphic or tabular form, e.g., a wall chart. | | o | Flash card. A card or other opaque material printed with words, numerals, or pictures and designed for rapid display. | | p | Postcard. | | q | Icon. | | r | Radiograph. A photograph produced by the passage of radiation, such as X rays, gamma rays, or neutrons, through an opaque object. | | s | Study print. | | u | Unspecified. The specified material designation is not specified. | | v | Photograph, type unspecified. | | z | Other. Computer produced graphics, spirit masters, transparency masters, etc. | |
| ‡d Color | The color characteristics of the item. | a | One color. The image is printed or executed in a single color, other than black. | | b | Black-and-white. The image is printed or executed in black-and-white. | | c | Multicolored. Use for multicolor. | | h | Hand-colored. Hand-colored information is present. Code h takes precedence over any other code. | | m | Mixed. The work or collection is a combination of one color, black-and-white, multicolored, hand colored, and/or other images. | | u | Unknown. The color characteristics of the item are not known. | | z | Other. Tones, stains, tints, etc. (e.g., sepia toned photographic items). | |
| ‡e Primary support material | The primary support material is the type of material used for the base on which an image is printed or executed. | a | Canvas. The primary support/base material is canvas. | | b | Bristol board. The primary support material is Bristol board, a fine, smooth pasteboard used by artists and painters. | | c | Cardboard/illustration board. The primary support material is cardboard or illustration board. | | d | Glass. The primary support material is glass. | | e | Synthetic. Man-made substances other than textiles, plastic, and vinyl. Formerly, this code included plastic and vinyl in its definition. | | f | Skin. Excludes leather, parchment, and vellum. Synthetic materials that are made to resemble animal skin are coded as synthetic. Formerly, this code included parchment, leather, and vellum in its definition. | | g | Textile. The primary support material is a textile (e.g., man-made fibers, silk, linen, nylon, etc.). | | h | Metal. The primary support material is metal. | | i | Plastic. | | l | Vinyl. | | m | Mixed collection. The primary support material varies for different items in a collection. | | n | Vellum. Fine-grained unsplit lambskin, kidskin, or calfskin prepared especially for writing or drawing on. | | o | Paper. The primary support material is any kind of cellulose-based paper. | | p | Plaster. Use also for mixtures of ground solids and plaster. | | q | Hardboard. The primary support material is hardboard. | | r | Porcelain. The primary support material is porcelain. | | s | Stone. The primary support material is stone. | | t | Wood. Use also for particle board. | | u | Unknown. The primary support material is not known. | | v | Leather. Animal skin dressed for use. | | w | Parchment. Skin of a sheep or goat prepared for writing on. | | z | Other. A primary support material for which none of the other codes is appropriate. | |
| ‡f Secondary support material | The type of material of the mount, mat, or frame associated with the nonprojected graphic. Use only if the mount is of historical, informational, aesthetic, or archival importance. If there is not secondary support, do not enter subfield ‡f. | a | Canvas. The secondary support material is canvas. | | b | Bristol board. The secondary support material is Bristol board, a fine, smooth pasteboard used by artists and painters. | | c | Cardboard/illustration board. The secondary support material is cardboard or illustration board. | | d | Glass. The secondary support material is glass. | | e | Synthetic. Man-made substances other than textiles, plastic, and vinyl. Formerly, this code included plastic and vinyl in its definition. | | f | Skin. Excludes leather, parchment, and vellum. Synthetic materials that are made to resemble animal skin are coded as synthetic. Formerly, this code included parchment, leather, and vellum in its definition. | | g | Textile. The secondary support material is a textile (e.g., man-made fibers, silk, linen, nylon, etc.). | | h | Metal. The secondary support material is metal. | | i | Plastic. | | l | Vinyl. | | m | Mixed collection. The secondary support material varies for different items in a collection. | | n | Vellum.
