PROGRAM NAME
cantata - The visual programming language for Khoros
DESCRIPTION
Cantata is a graphically expressed, data flow visual language which
provides a visual programming environment within the Khoros system.
Data flow is a "naturally visible" approach in which a visual program is
described as a directed graph, where each node represents an operator
or function and each directed arc represents a path over which data flows.
The purpose in providing a visual language interface to the programs included
in the Khoros system is to increase the productivity of researchers and
application developers. By providing a more natural environment which is
similar to the block diagrams that are already familiar to practitioners in
the field, the visual language provides support to both novice and experienced
programmers.
