Abstract

VisualDiaGen is a tool for visually specifying visual languages and generating graphical editors from such specifications that are mainly based on graph transformation and graph grammars. VisualDiaGen is an extension of DiaGen that has already allowed for specification and generation of visual editors; however, DiaGen’s specifications have been based on a textual and, therefore, a less user-friendly representation. This paper describes how VisualDiaGen has been built on top of DiaGen and by using DiaGen as well.

VisualDiaGen reuses DiaGen’s specification tool. However, components that have still used a textual notation instead of the “naturally” visual one have been replaced by visual editors which have been specified and generated with DiaGen.
