Abstract

Programming in pictures (or filmification of methods) is an approach where pictures and moving pictures are used as (super-) characters to represent algorithms. There are two types of pictures. Compound pictures define algorithmic steps and generic pictures define the contents of compound pictures. In this paper we focus on generic pictures by providing their overview, classification and examples. We also show how the syntax-semantic gap can be bridged by the pictures and how the readability and understandability of picture-based programs are realized. In addition, the scalability of computation represented by the super-characters and the expandability of these character sets are considered.
