StaMa Visio Shapes are set of Microsoft Visio shapes that serve to assemble an arbitrary deep nested hierarchical state machine and generate the structural code for a StaMa based implementation of the state machine.

The shapes can be found in the Document Stencil window when creating a drawing from the StaMaShapes.vst template. The general concept is to drag the shapes from the Document Stencil into the state diagram and position and connect them there.
