Automatic generation of computer graphics languages

Gregory J. Suski · 1976

This paper describes a system currently under development at Northwestern University which allows a user of a computer graphics system to generate specialized graphics programming languages which are particularly suited to a user's own needs and expertise. Termed a Language Generation System (LGS), it differs from the more traditional compiler-compiler and extensible language systems in the ease and speed of language specification and generation and also in the actual method of language specification employed.
