Abstract

This paper discusses picture logic, a visual language for the specification of diagramsand diagramtrans formations. Formal specification techniques for diagrammaticor visual languages have previously mainly been targeted towards static diagrammatic languages. For reasoning about certain types of diagrams, however, formalizing a notion of change is inevitable. This is particularly true of visual mathematical notations who seevaluation rules or consequence relations correspond to visual or graphical transformations. The paper presents constraint-based extensions of picture logic whichrender it suitable for the specification of such diagramnotations and the required transformations.
