"Geographic information systems (GIS) are supplemented by components for the creation of batch data flow diagrams. In this article, two components are presented: ModelBuilder in ArcGIS and Workflow Designer in AutoCAD Map 3D. The level of component facilities is different. The components support users more or less to create diagrams that meet aesthetic, cognitive and perceptual principles. The aesthetic, cognitive and perceptual quality of diagrams is determined by the possibilities of the program components. However, these qualities can also be influenced by the creativity of the author. The author can increase or decrease the quality of the diagram by arranging the elements, orientation and by setting the diagram size. The user creativity is bigger in ModelBuilder than in Workflow Designer. Users must be careful with the design and respect the rules and recommendations. The concluding chapter sums up the useful recommendations for creators of diagrams in ArcGIS ModelBuilder and AutoCAD Map Workflow Designer. These recommendations will help increase aesthetics, cognitive and perceptual quality of diagrams. Users can utilize the strengths of the diagram components and minimize the weaknesses in functionality by a clever design of data flow diagrams."@en . .
