Summary

Visual languages are ubiquitous in human cultures and range from informal sketches to rigorous technical diagrams such as electronic circuit designs. This book provides a broad-ranging survey of our current understanding of visual languages and their theoretical foundations, focusing on the definition, specification, and structural analysis of visual languages by grammars, logic, and algebraic methods.
