Title
Grip: A Formal Framework For Developing A Support Environment For Graphical Interactive Programming.
Abstract
The authors propose a methodology for designing and implementing tools to support interactive, graphical programming. Their approach combines the formalism of attributed, graphical context-free grammars with the object-oriented philosophy of implementation. The concepts are illustrated by examining their application to the development of an interactive, syntax-directed editor for D-charts. Using the authors' methodology, the syntax tree describing a D-Chart becomes an instantiation of the objects and methods comprising the editor itself conceptually, nodes in the tree become related tasks of the user process, cooperating to carry out the editor functions.
