Abstract

Visual Languages can be basically classified in two main categories: languages that provide a formalism for visual representation and languages for visual programming. To the first class belong languages that provide a logical interpretation of visual information such as images or pictorial objects. To the second class belong languages that support a visual representation of traditional data type to provide systems with a more user-oriented interface.
