Abstract
The aim of this paper is to elaborate the power of cooperation in generating and analysing (handwritten) characters by array grammars. We present various non-context-free sets of arrays that can be generated in a simple way by cooperating distributed array grammar systems with prescribed teams working in different modes and show the power of the mechanism of cooperation for picture description and analysis as well as the efficiency of these models where several sets of productions work in parallel on the given sentential form.
