VICON: A Visual Icon Manager and Editor, Application to Visual Programming with Icons
19 February 1987
A methodology to design Visual Programming applications is presented which is based on a Visual Icon Manager and Editor (VICON). VICON uses a visual object paradigm which allows a user to interactively create visual entities (icon objects, ion processes, menus and commands) and to organize them into iconic systems and worlds. These iconic systems are semantic networks of visual objects which can be interactively modified using icon editors, processed by application programs, saved on files and restored.
