Hi,

I found HotDraw's tool state machine editor [1] very interesting as a
graphical editor for a "syntax-directed translator". The state machine
transforms a stream of mouse events into a stream of commands on the
structured drawing. Did I push the analogy too far?

I was wondering if anyone knows similar examples of graphical editor
for grammars?

Moreover, we didn't find (yet) a good metaphor for writing programs in
general purpose programming language in a graphical editor. Do you
think that might change with "domain specific languages"?

Thank you to everyone on this list for the very interesting
discussions and links.
