In FrameMaker, you can import or create graphics to add illustrations in your document. You can add text boxes, circles, lines, and arrows in the graphics. You can also resize, reshape, and rotate graphics in FrameMaker.
You can import a graphic into an anchored or unanchored graphic frame, into a rectangle that serves as a bounding box, or directly onto a page.
The article Technical Illustrations in FrameMaker 10 explains how to handle graphics in FrameMaker with procedures and illustrations. Click the link to download the article and read on to know about:

Although everything is correct, the paper misses one important point if you are working with XML-strutcured documents and plan to save as XML:
* Graphic annotations with FrameMaker’s graphic tools do not round-trip to XML.
* Multiple graphics in one frame do not round-trip to XML.
* Equations ba default do not round-trip to XML.
Basically, in XML-based workflows you have to carefully design your graphics workflow.

Thanks Michael, for your comment. This is very useful information in terms of XML-based workflows.
