Abstract
The development of a visual language requires a specification of its syntax and semantics and the implementation of a visual environment which embeds it. In the present paper we describe VLCC, a graphical system for the automatic generation of visual programming environments. We show that the system is able to support the development of complex real-world visual languages which exhibit hierarchical aspects, such as Statecharts and UML notations
