Abstract

The initial design of a framework for processors of visual languages is presented. The concept of visual language is discussed and the framework-based approach to implementing visual languages is motivated. The main features of the proposed framework are presented. The framework combines declarative grammar-based language specification techniques with inheritance and dynamic binding of language entities.
