It was great to read this paper presenting a method for analysing a corpus of diagrams. I think this could be a very useful contribution.
As you note, Pattern was frequently used as a visual variable (rather than Clarity, Colour, Shape or Dynamics). It also seems to be less common to use Pattern change for purposes other than signalling uncertainty (your Table 3). Conducting the work, did you feel that Pattern change in connecting lines has a fairly specialised probability-signalling role? If so, could you speculate as to why this may be?
