Description

The goal of the program visualization workstation is to help programmers form clear and correct mental images of a program’s structure and functions through graphic displays of program code. This is a prototype workstation developed on three screens with the intention of combining all three screens into one high resolution screen. The main components are: menus for overall system function controls; library of building blocks, templates and kits for the user to assemble into system diagrams; and a work space for system diagrams. Shown opposite page:

1. Three screen workstations with library on left screen, workspace on center screen, and function menus on right screen.
2. Detail of window motion control.
3. Overall system diagram.
4. Icons for graphics editor menu.
