Chapter 4. Developing a DSL Graphical Notation

In many cases, a domain-specific language (DSL) can be represented using graphical notation. Of course, not every DSL has such an application, nor is it the case that all aspects of a single DSL can be sensibly represented in a graphical manner; a combination of graphical and textual could be the best solution. This chapter explores the capabilities of the Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) project, first covering some basics of designing a graphical notation.
