Visual Specification of Visual Editors with VisualDiaGen

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3062))

Abstract

VisualDiaGen is a tool for specifying a visual language and generating a graphical editor from such a specification. The specification is mainly based on graph transformation and graph grammars. This paper demonstrates VisualDiaGen and its features by briefly describing how the tool can be used to generate a simplified version of an application which is used in education courses for electrical engineers.
