Marquise

Abstract

Marquise is a new interactive tool that allows virtually all of the user interfaces of graphical editors to be created by demonstration without programming.A "graphicẽ ditor" allows the user to create and manipulate graphical objects with a mouse. This is a very large class of programs and includes drawing programs like MacDraw, graph layout editors like MacProject, visual language editors, and marty CAD/CAM programs, The primary innovation in Marquise is to allow the designer to demonstrate the overall behavior of the interface.To implement this, the Marquise framework contains knowledge about palettes for creating and specifying properties of objects, and about operations such as selecting, moving, and deleting objects. The interactive tool uses the framework to allow the designer to demonstrate most of the end user's actions without programming, which means that Marquise can be used by non-programmers.

“…Early works [10,15,26,29,30] support iteration by automatically discovering loops given a demonstration of one or a few iterations, using program synthesis. Synthesis is less reliable than letting the user specify the iteration in voice.…”

“…Cleveland (2010) opined that layout is very vital to design in visual communication. Many scholars have conducted studies into various aspects of design (see Myers, McDaniel & Kosbie, 1993;Kress & Van Leeuwen, 1996;: Van Leeuwen, 2006. Wong (1992) argues that interface designers must learn to develop prototypes in the form of layout like it is done in graphic designing.…”
