A form of steganography in which an 'innocent' picture encodes a message.

The graph of the above maze is:
     /-\       i
A - a  |      / \
     \-/     g   h
              \ /
               f
1-\   /-3-\    |
|  >S<     >-c-d-B
2-/   \-4-/  |
             e
            / \
           f---g
Although the message may not be easily understood, this is one of many ways to encode information into a maze.
