There are special figures which may be said to constitute a "graphic lauguage" , for they have their own code-like grammar. They are classified by their code into 4 groups : tables (matrix) , maps (territory) , network (linear graph) , graph (co-ordinate). Because of their codes, the figures have qualities similar to those of sentences of natural languages and mathematical formulas. Yet these figures are graphical, so that their fundamental quality is different from sentences and f formulas. Generally speaking, a sentence is understood in order from its parts to the whole. But the understanding of a figure of graphic languages is achieved in reverse order. Its total meaning is canght at a glance, then follow understandings of details. The reason of this totality and the structure of meanings of a figure are discussed in this article.
