|
The object-oriented paradigm is very used in CAD
systems. It permits users to create objects and to
interrogate their attributes to use them in other processes.
While some CAD or drawing systems support end-user
programming in order to abstract building functions,
none of them permit creating classes where several
functions (constructor and selectors) share the same data.
A data model that permits to abstract a class from one of
its instances built by the end-user is described in this
paper. The proposed technique permits the user not only
to describe interactively the class constructor, but also to
build the class selectors without any programming
knowledge. The created class can be used directly thanks
to a specific interpretation mechanism, or the
corresponding code can be generated and compiled to
have persistent classes. This technique has been used in a
CAD system that permitting end-user specialization.
