Introduction

TL;DRAbstract

Diagrams have been widely used in reasoning, for example, in solving problems in physics, mathematics, and logic. Mathematicians, psychologists, philosophers, and logicians have been aware of the value of diagrams and, moreover, there has been an increase in the research on visual representation. Many interesting and important issues have been discussed: the distinction, if any, between linguistic symbols and diagrams, the advantages of diagrams over linguistic symbols, the importance of imagery to human reasoning, diagrammatic knowledge representation (especially in artificial intelligence systems), and so on.
