....for: GUI programming . Graphically depicting dataflow and module structure . Building programs by combining textually programmed modules Those who make practical use of VPLs and VPEs are not limited to universities, but include both small and large corporations, the government, and the military [4]. In the digital signal processing (DSP) community there are a number of VPLs and VPEs that offer varying levels of functionality, scale, and ease of use. Such evolutionary tools have often been useful in the research and rapid prototyping environments in which the processor count is low, but ....

....are limited by their display and manipulation of a single data set at a time. This prevents cross data set comparisons or operations. D. Spreadsheet Representations Spreadsheets are a subset of form visual programming languages where the user programs the contents of cells aligned in a grid [9]. Spreadsheets are most familiar from numeric applications. The visual language community has extensively studied spreadsheets and their applications. For example, the Forms 3 system [10] has been used to discuss spreadsheet animation, dynamically expanding grids, and psychological factors in ....

....From this point of view, XML GL is more like general purpose visual programming languages. In contrast, our proposal to represent XML documents in a form like way by nested rectangles with attached labels achieves a higher degree of usability, in particular, in the sense of concreteness [1] and directness [13] A form based query interface is also provided by EquiX [4] However, the form metaphor is only used on the outermost level, and nesting is expressed by simple indentation. The forms are generated semiautomatically, driven by a DTD. This means a severe restriction since only ....

.... is more like general purpose visual programming languages that are based on trees and graphs, such as Progress [24] or Grrr [23] An icon based visual language for restructuring Web contents is presented in [21] To achieve a high degree of usability, in particular, in the sense of concreteness [5] and directness [25] we instead propose to represent XML documents in a form like way by nested rectangles with attached labels. On the one hand, this notation is related to the tree structure in a precisely determined way (namely by nesting) and thus directly reflects the XML objects that are ....

....of a program in operation are portrayed. ffl Visual Programming allows a user to literally draw, point at, or demonstrate relationships among concepts or data as a means of programming; that is, a graphical representation is (generally) compiled into a more conventional program automatically [5]. Visual programming systems may be based on dataflow, spreadsheet, or object oriented paradigms, and as well have been explored in functional, imperative, logic, and rule based formats [4] In what follows, we will discuss each of these approaches in turn, giving examples from the author s own ....

....However, despite the increase in the use of VPLs for these and other programming tasks, there has been almost no attention to software engineering support mechanisms when working in these languages. Visual programming is programming in which more than one dimension is used to convey semantics [3]. Examples of such additional dimensions are the use of multidimensional objects, the use of spatial relationships, or the use of the time dimension to specify before after semantic relationships. Each such potentially significant object or relationship is a token (just as in traditional textual ....

Acknowledgments and Bibliographic Notes The sources of information used for this article, other than those specifically referenced above, as well as additional sources of information, are as follows. The material for the introductory section is derived from [4]. See [5] for a detailed treatment of the scaling up problem for visual programming languages. The four VPL examples were drawn from an IEEE tutorial presented jointly by Burnett and Rebecca Walpole Djang in 1997 in Capri, Italy. The discussion of VPL specification presented here is summarized ....
