The automatic generation of translation software for graphic objects
Sandra A. Mamrak, C.S. O'Connell, Richard E. Parent · IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications · 1989
The authors discuss their effort to extend their translation architecture for textual, tabular, and mathematical material to include graphic objects. They begin with a brief overview of their testbed, the Chameleon Project. They analyze the feasibility of automatically generating translators in the graphics domain. They use an intermediate-form model for translation and establish criteria for the representation of the intermediate and variant forms if automatic generation is to be possible.>
