Abstract 

The presentation shows some examples of workflow diagrams for Geographic Information Systems (GIS software). Two possibilities of evaluation for graphic notations could be considered. The first evaluation is by theory "Physics of Notations". The second way is testing of reading of workflow diagrams by eye-tracking system. Eye-tracking laboratory at Palacky University in Olomouc (Czech Republic) has been processed series of experiments with reading of diagrams. Some practical experiments with workflow diagrams will be presented.
