Ad-a02c 942 Interactive Generation of Object Models with a Manipulator

Manipulator programs in a high level language consist of manipulatl. ^procedurei and ob>ect miel declarations. As higher leve. languages are developed, the procedures will shrink while the declarations will grow. This trend makes It desirable to develop means for automating^ lenemL of these declarations. A system is proposed which wouW permit uim to tpvdfy certain ob-ect models Interactively, using the manipulator itself as a meiwrlng tool In three dlmrnslons A preliminary version of the system has been tested.
