Space time Spacetime diagrams and their interpretation

Recently started an introductory course of relativity, and started learning about space time diagrams.

I couldn’t figure out what are the uses of a space timespacetime diagram as an alternative to Lorentz transformations. When will one be better to use? Also, how can one use them instead of a Lorentz transformation, such as for deducing length contraction and time dilation?

I couldn’t figure out what are the uses of a space time diagram as an alternative to Lorentz transformations (when. When will one be better to use m?)
