%X Visual language techniques have exhibited more advantages in describing various software artifacts than one-dimensional textual languages during software development,ranging from the requirement analysis and design to testing and maintenance,as diagrammatic and graphical notations have been well applied in modeling system.In addition to an intuitive appearance,graph grammars provide a well-established foundation for defining visual languages with the power of precise modeling and verification on computers.This paper discusses the issues and techniques for a formal foundation of visual languages,reviews related practical graphical environments, presents a spatial graph grammar formalism,and applies the spatial graph grammar to defining behavioral semantics of UML diagrams and developing a style-driven framework for software architecture design.
