Before the advent of alphabets, man used pictures to communicate. And then he evolved (?) and created wonders with the so called "programs" of his in alphabets. He evolved still more. Became lazy and now is turning everything back to pictures but calls it graphics. I disagree. Text is essentially a one-dimensional "model" - great for sequential descriptions, but rubbish for parallelism, branching, etc. Just look at what happens here when people try to describe their circuits in words, rather than post a diagram! Diagrams definitely have the advantage when it comes to showing structure. Of course, whether an entirely diagramatic ("graphical") tool can generate efficient implementations is an entirely different question... |
