The microlensing technique has found 10 exoplanets to date and promises to discover more in the near future. While planetary transit light curves all show a familiar shape, planetary perturbations to microlensing light curves can manifest a wide variety of morphologies. We present a graphical guide that may be useful when understanding microlensing events showing planetary caustic perturbations.
