Help! I am interested in finding out the current state of the art in "graphic programming langauges". These are langauges that use graphics as the mode of writing programs, not langauges for programming graphics. I am interested in this area as a possible MS thesis topic. In the August 1985 issue of IEEE Computer, an article by Georg Raeder describes a number of issues in graphical programming techniques. He also mentions some systems such as Omega at UC Berkley and his own PIP (programming In Pictures) system. Has anyone else had experience with this type of programming or with writing graphical programming langauges? I am considering writing a graphical programming langauge on the Macintosh, since graphics are easy to manipulate on the Mac. Any comments would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!
