Abstract :
VISPATCH (VISible event disPATCH) is a graphical rule-based programming language based on event-driven graphics rewriting that is suitable for expressing user interaction. The VISPATCH interpreter can modify rules by other rules as well as graphical objects. This makes it possible to create a programmable interactive system such as a graphic editor
