ABSTRACTDesigning a general toolkit for interactive software implies to make a choice between the speed of the renderer and the power of expression of the user. We propose an instrumented method to concieve interactive software based on the use of graphical editors, conceptual languages and a toolkit, Hayaku, that encapsulates a graphical compiler. Hayaku allows to maximize the graphical performances of Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

IHM the application, thus authorizing to have a better graphical renderer, and authorizing the user to use all of his editor tools. The truth of the graphics, the control easyness, the power of expression and the efficiency of the use of the designer's tools allows the conceptor to efficiently explore new dynamic graphical representations that are easy to control.
Although reactive and graphically rich interfaces are now mainstream, their development is still a notoriously difficult task. This paper presents Hayaku, a toolset that supports designing finely tuned interactive graphics. With Hayaku, a designer can abstract graphics in a class, describe the connections between input and graphics through this class, and compile it into runnable code with a graphical compile chain. The benefits of this approach are multiple. First, the frontend of the compiler is a rich standard graphical language that designers can use with existing drawing tools. Second, manipulating a data flow and abstracting the low-level run-time through a front-end language makes the transformation from data to graphics easier for designers. Third, the graphical interaction code can be ported to other platforms with minimal changes, while benefiting from optimizations provided by the graphical compiler.
