visual programming environment
Software which allows the use of visual expressions (such as graphics, drawings,
animation or icons) in the process of programming. These visual expressions may
be used as graphical interfaces for textual programming languages. They may be
used to form the syntax of new visual programming languages leading to new
paradigms such as programming by demonstration or they may be used in graphical
presentations of the behaviour or structure of a program.
