Abstract :
We describe a meta tool for specification and generation of multiple view visual tools. The tool permits rapid specification of visual notational elements, the tool information model, visual editors, the relationship between notational and model elements, and behaviour. Tools are generated on the fly and can be used for modelling immediately. Changes to the meta tool specification are immediately reflected in tool instances
