Shapes and lines and the interpretation of them give diagrams meaning. They represent the flow of information which may take many different paths to the end of a process.
Shapes and lines serve two purposes in diagrams:
Visual – Swimlanes contain shapes. Lines represent the flow of information between activities and across swimlanes.
Informational – Data placed on the diagram and activities provide indications of process performance.
