visual programming environment          Software which allows the use of visual expressions (such as       graphics, drawings, animation or {icon}s) in the process of       programming.   These visual expressions may be used as       graphical interfaces for textual programming languages.   They       may be used to form the syntax of new visual programming       languages leading to new paradigms such as {programming by       demonstration} or they may be used in graphical presentations       of the behaviour or structure of a program.          (1995-02-23)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
visual programming language          (VPL) Any programming language that allows the user       to specify a program in a two-(or more)-dimensionsional way.       Conventional textual languages are not considered       two-dimensional since the {compiler} or {interpreter}       processes them as one-dimensional streams of characters.   A       VPL allows programming with visual expressions - spatial       arrangements of textual and graphical symbols.          VPLs may be further classified, according to the type and       extent of visual expression used, into {icon}-based languages,       {form}-based languages and {diagram language}s.   {Visual       programming environment}s provide graphical or iconic elements       which can be manipulated by the user in an interactive way       according to some specific spatial grammar for program       construction.          A visually transformed language is a non-visual language with       a superimposed visual representation.   Naturally visual       languages have an inherent visual expression for which there       is no obvious textual equivalent.          {Visual Basic}, {Visual C++} and the entire {Microsoft} Visual       family are not, despite their names, visual programming       languages.   They are textual languages which use a graphical       {GUI builder} to make programming interfaces easier.   The user       interface portion of the programming environment is visual,       the languages are not.   Because of the confusion caused by the       multiple meanings of the term "{visual programming}", Fred       Lakin has proposed the term "executable graphics" as an       alternative to VPL.          Some examples of visual programming languages are {Prograph},       {Pict}, {Tinkertoy}, {Fabrik}, {CODE 2.0} and {Hyperpascal}.          {(http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/ianr/vpl.html)}.       {(http://cuiwww.unige.ch/eao/www/readme.html)}.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.lang.visual} (NOT for {Visual       Basic} or {Visual C++}).          (1995-02-10)
