Based on an alphabet and concrete syntax of the visual language and syntax directed editing operations in the generated editor plug-in. For the graphical layout we use the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) of ECLIPSE which offers an efficient and standardized way for graphical layouting. | |||||||||||||||||
