Abstract
Diagrams (e.g., trees for hierarchical structures, or graphs for finite state machines) are often needed as part of advanceduser interfaces, and are frequently specific to a user's application. The implementation of editors for diagrams should be supported by a tool and based on a formal model. This paper gives an overview of DiaGen, our generator for diagram editors. An editor for a certain kind of diagram is generated from a specification, which includes a grammar to describe the structure of diagrams. The user of a diagram editor, however, does not have to be concerned with the grammar, but can manipulate diagrams very conveniently by direct manipulation.
