Diagrams (e.g., flowcharts, trees for hierarchical structures, or graphs for finite state machines) are often needed as part of visual language systems and advanced user interfaces, and are frequently application specific. The implementation of editors for diagrams should be supported by a tool and based on a formal model. This paper gives an overview of DiaGen, our generator for diagram editor...

A wide range of semiotic resources has been used to construct meaning. Visual systems of meaning offer different resources and potentials for meaning making. Readers need to familiarize themselves with a variety of ways to make sense and read visual images. This paper, drawing on the theories of semiotics, art and visual communication grammar, presents a framework of interpretive strategies to ...

Systems that can handle visual languages such as Penguins and Eviss use a generalized editor for handling figures of the visual language. However, these editors have limited editing operations. We propose an approach to describe operations on the figures as a part of the language's grammar. It becomes easy to provide an editing operation based on the analysis of a figure, and the implementation...

Art and poetry go hand in to appeal the senses of creators art lovers. The objective this research was explore connection visual how these forms juxtaposed create meaning. A collection, Maritime Treasures Pakistan, featuring selected be analyzed using Visual Grammar framework (2006) light Derrida’s (1967/1997) theory deconstruction, respectively. analysis showed that can help us interpret image...

Methodology / approach A demonstration is presented using two industrial robots and a personal computer (PC) equipped with a sound board and a headset microphone. The demonstration was coded using the Microsoft Visual Basic and C# .NET 2003 and associated with two simple robot applications: one capable of picking-and-placing objects and going to predefined positions, and the other capable of pe...

This paper demonstrates a novel method to generate house designs completely from 3/4” plywood sheets. A shape grammar routine is employed to divide an initial solid shape into constructible components for fabrication by CNC wood routing. The paper demonstrates programmable functions that can be performed using CAD scripting. Future goals for the grammar are to develop CAD programs for digital f...

The present study seeks to delve into the intricacies of multimodal discourse analysis with regard violence against women awareness campaign posters. To this end, a is conducted on English In respect, different semiotic modes adopted in posters were put under scrutiny. Similarly, attempts explore how adoption may contribute construction meaning when cooperating language. three selected from ele...

This paper describes reusable parser generation from source code of popular open source compilers for rapid parser development. It is based on the author’s experience of constructing reverse engineering tools that extract design information and draw some diagrams from programs. This took several weeks to achieve using traditional parser development. A renewal parser generator MJay was developed...

Understanding the grammatical structure of the target language is beneficial to certain categories of language learners, in particular to students learning to write in a language with many syntax-sensitive spelling rules, and to adult L1/L2 learners who prefer explicit rules. Moreover, grammar is an important body of knowledge in its own right. Two visual-interactive grammar instruction tools a...
