Abstract: In this paper, the uses of types and type inference in
visual languages are explored. First, we discuss how the
goals of a type system must differ for visual languages
from those of a type system for textual languages. We
then present a type system developed under these goals for
the visual language Forms/3. Within the context of this
system, issues of particular importance in visual
languages are examined, including maintaining the user's
conceptual model, the avoidance of language... (Update)
