Generating Visual Editors for Formally Specified Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the generation of structured visual editors for formally speciied languages. We use the term structured visual editor to refer to a structure{oriented editor which provides language speciic behavior and supports the interactive construction of programs. This paper describes how such a visual editor can be generated from a formal language speciication including the language's visual syntax. A simple visual expression editor is presented in order to demonstrate our approach. Our prototype implementation is discussed at the end of the paper.

Towards a Visual Programming Environment Generator for Algebraic Specifications
In the visual languages community there has been a growing consensus that visual languages will be most successful in the case of special purpose languages. Furthermore, their success will largely depend on the programming environment which is provided for them. Programming environment generators, generate programming environments for formally speciied languages. This paper discusses speciicati...
متن کاملGenerating Domain-Specific Model Editors with Complex Editing Commands
In software system development, domain-specific visual notations are increasingly used and need a tool environment consisting of visual editors, simulators, model transformers, etc. Several Eclipse projects head for a meta technology to define domain-specific modeling languages. The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) [5] can be used to define the underlying models of visual editors. Given an EMF ...
متن کاملGenerating visual structure editors from high-level specifications
The implementation of visual languages requires a wide range of conceptual and technical knowledge from issues of user interface design and graphical implementation to aspects of analysis and transformation for languages in general. We present the DEViL system that incorporates such knowledge. It generates complete language implementations from high level specifications. DEViL is the successor ...
متن کاملVisual Language Editors Based on Lr Parsing Techniques
Visual language editors should provide a user-friendly environment where users are supported in an effective way in the construction of visual sentences. In this paper, we propose an approach for the construction of syntax-directed visual language editors by integrating incremental parsers into freehand editors. The approach combines the LR-based techniques for parsing visual languages with the...
متن کاملTowards Symbolic Analysis of Model Transformations
As the Unified Modeling Language is evolving into a family of languages with individually specified semantics, there is an increasing need for highly automated and provenly correct model transformations that assure the integration of local views of the system (in the form of different diagrams) into a consistent global view. Graph transformation provides an easy-to-understand visual specificati...
