VPLs may be further classified, according to the type and extent of visual expression used, into icon-based languages, form-based languages, and diagram languages. Visual programming environments provide graphical or iconic elements which can be manipulated by users 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. Current developments try to integrate the visual programming approach with Dataflow Language s to either have immediate access to the Program State resulting in online debugging (i.e. LabVIEW ) or automatic program generation and documentation (i.e. Visual Paradigm ). Dataflow languages also allow automatic parallelisation, which is likely to become one of the greatest programming challenges of the future. VISUAL LANGUAGES
