Developing a domain-specific language for graphs

Abstract

This paper introduces the development of a domain-specific language tailored for graph illustration, focusing on its grammar, lexical parser, and functionality. The necessity for specialized tools in graph visualization, particularly in interpreting complex datasets, has led to the creation of this domain-specific language aimed at enhancing user interaction with graphical data. By detailing the implementation of the language's syntax and semantics, a comprehensive overview of how it simplifies the construction and manipulation of graph representations is provided. Furthermore, the practical applications of this domain-specific language in various fields are explored, demonstrating its potential to facilitate clearer data insights and improve decision-making processes. The paper culminates with a conclusion that reflects on the implications and future directions of this domain-specific language in graph illustration.
