XML-based Specification of Diagram Editors
Mark Minas · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2003
This paper describes a graphical specification tool for Dia Gen, a diagram editor generator based on hypergraph grammars and hypergraph transformation. The specification tool greatly simplifies the process of specifying and generating diagram editors. It uses an XML-based specification language, and it is an extension of a generic XML editor which offers syntax-directed editing based on the DTD, i.e, syntax specification, of the underlying XML-based language.
