Diagram cards are a special type of card used for visual learning. Instead of relying on Markdown content, a diagram card displays an image—such as an anatomy chart, map, technical diagram, or labeled illustration—and allows you to quiz yourself on specific regions of that image.
How diagram cards work
A diagram card consists of:
An image
One or more blocked-out sections that represent the parts you want to test
Optional markdown caption
Each blocked-out section behaves like its own mini-card:
It is shown individually during review
It has its own review history
It is scheduled separately using spaced repetition
This means you can learn different parts of the same image at different speeds, depending on how well you remember each area.
Use cases
Diagram cards are ideal for:
Anatomy (organs, bones, muscles)
Geography (countries, cities, landmarks)
Any subject where identifying visual regions is essential
Diagram cards combine visual memory with spaced repetition, making them a powerful tool for subjects that rely on recognizing parts of a whole.
