Introduction
This volume is a contribution to the effort of the International Graphonomics Society (IGS) which aims at facilitating the communication between investigators in the entire area of handwriting and drawing. As such, it presents a wide range of studies on these topics.

The published selection results from a rigourous choice out of about one hundred presentations made at the 6th International IGS Conference on Handwriting and Drawing which was held in Paris in July 1993. This book is primarily addressed to researchers involved in handwriting and drawing who wish to increase their knowledge of these topics and to take advantage both of the experimental procedures and results, and of the models which are developped inside and outside their own area of investigation. It futhermore aims at an audience of scientists who are working in the various disciplines represented in the sections of this volume, for whom human graphic action may become a new topic of investigation. Finally, the book presents many new developments which are directly related to applications in education, remediation, forensic science, and pattern recognition. It therefore has a great potential appeal to professionals working in these applied areas.
