Get rid of it - it's just pompous writing. Especially important if your
documents go to non-native-English speakers.
"Shown in" is universally understood. "Illustrated in" less so.

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?
