In DIN 66261, the German Institute for Standardization defined the appearance of Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams. Menu option "DIN?" (or "DIN 66261?") is to turn on a DIN-conform diagram representation.

View menu with DIN 66261 selected

Actually, this setting affects only the FOR loop, because it is the sole element type, for which the Structorizer representation may differ from the DIN-66261 specification:

FOR diagram according to DIN

 

FOR diagram not according to DIN

 
FOR loop in accordance with DIN 66261
("DIN?" checked; default in Structorizer since release 3.30)		 FOR loop not in accordance with DIN 66261
("DIN?" unchecked; default in Structorizer before release 3.30)

 

Also note the appearance of different toolbar and menu icons depending on the setting.

Icons For-Loop in DIN mode

Icon "FOR loop" with "DIN?" checked

 

Icons For-Loop in not-DIN mode

Icon "FOR loop" with "DIN?" not checked

 

Note: You can alter freely between DIN and non-DIN mode. The appearance of all diagrams will immediately switch to the new mode. This is no modification of the diagrams themselves but only of their representation.
