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

[john.x.posada at us.hsbc.com]

Using the word "exemplified" is not even used properly in this example:

"Exemplified" denotes a typical example. In your example, it isn't "an
example", it is the actual graphic image.

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?
