Abstract
This paper describes SYNGRAPH (SYNtax) directed GRAPHics) which is a user interface generator for interactive system graphics. This system applies the principles of syntax analysis, parser generation and data abstraction to the development of man-machine interfaces. A great deal of work has been done in the modeling of user interfaces using context-free grammars [Jaco82, Lafu78, Pars79, Reis81, Wass81]. There also has been work done in using parser generation tools for simulating such interactions for prototyping purposes [Hanu80]. The purpose of the system described here is to provide a functional tool for actually implementing graphical user interfaces.Keywords
