Picture or diagram explaining focal points EOS R6

Is there any visual aides to fully explain the different focal point settings and what type of shooting they would be used for? 
For a canon R6.

I don’t mean to be obtuse or sarcastic, but a focal point to me means the area or part of the image a viewers eye is most drawn too; the main point of interest you’d focus on when taking the photo. Do you perhaps mean the AF areas on the R6, how they differ and which one is best to use for specific types of scenarios? There are plenty of tutorial videos about that.

This is for the R1, but lots of good info.

theperfectplex,

A woman named Katelyn James seems to have made a bunch of videos on how to setup and use the Canon R6 AF settings. Do a Google search on her name.

@theperfectplex,

By chance are you referring to AF method?
