Graphical programming language

Question

In control technology or tools, I see that Simulink or LabVIEW (G) are quite popular. In ESL design, I see that Agilent SystemVue is gaining in popularity.

If you see a well-installed theroy compiler, almost 100% is a text language. But what about the graphic language?

Are there any notable studies or discussions about the graphical programming language? In terms

• Graphic Language Theory - Parsing / Semantic Analysis and Any Relevant
• expressiveness (Actually, I asked a question about this in SO - What do you mean by expressiveness of a programming language? )
• Graphic Language Capability
• ...

Or what do you think of the graphic programming language?

Answer 1

Prograph is pretty cool - it's a general-purpose graphic programming language, and it uses a data flow paradigm.

See workflow patterns, which, in my opinion, are a really good theoretical foundation for the graphical programming approach.
