[Framers] "Exemplified" - use in technical documentation?

Hi,

A new technical writer uses « exemplified in Fig. X.X» in captions to describe images in our technical reference documentation for a quality control software.

I have asked that a simpler synonym be used (shown in Figure X.X).

I consider that "exemplified" is not a commonly used term (I haven't heard or read the term in years) and is not easily read. The writer does not want to give the term up, considering it equal to "illustrated in".

What do you think?
