This paper describes how a diagram language can be specified, based on graphs, graph grammars, and transformation rules, and how the diagram editor generator DiaGen generates a diagram editor from such a specification. DiaGen can be applied to practically every visual language, and to visual process modeling languages in particular. This is demonstrated with an editor and animator for statecharts.
