N2  - Visual languages are the defining component of interactive computing environments, yet in spite of the rapid pace of evolution of this domain, significant challenges remain. This book presents comprehensive coverage of the problems and methodologies related to the syntax, semantics, and ambiguities of visual languages. It authoritatively sets out the defining issues related to formalizing visual languages for interactive computing, creating a foundational reference for future research and application
