  • Abstract
    The increasing influence of visual technology on language environments that has resulted from the increasing availability of workstations is discussed. An evolution that began with the relatively straightforward translation of textual techniques into corresponding visual techniques and has progressed to uses of visual techniques that have no natural parallel using purely textural techniques is traced. Visual user interfaces, visual editing, and visual languages are surveyed.<>
