Semi-Automated SVG Programming via Direct Manipulation
summary
Prototype called Sketch-n-Sketch combines a text-based lambda-style SVG program with GUI tools that insert code, equalize coordinates and colors, and abstract groups into parameterized functions so a reusable logo is created without typing. Direct manipulation updates constant literals in the program in real time; midpoints and arithmetic get synthesized automatically. It works for many designs but generates verbose math, requires top-level definition layout, and faces ambiguity when multiple refactorings are possible.
