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)
