reading oil dip stick

I have a 2007 Honda Civic LX. The oil dip stick is Orange in color. There are NO 2 holes at the bottom of the dip stick to indicate lower or upper limits of the oil. Mine just has a pattern of diamonds of sorts which tell me nothing. How do I read this dip stick compare to the pattern as to the level of oil in my car? See photo

Keep the oil within diamond area.

Re: reading oil dip stick

Thank you Mad Dog for taking the time to reply. I made that assumption earlier, but I wanted a second plus opinion to be sure. I appreciate your response.
