    For a project on new diagrammatic specification techniques we need
    a tool for the creation of diagram editors. Diagram editors support the
    creation and modification of diagrams according to some notational
    convention. They can be found in CASE-tools for modelling Data Flow 
    Diagrams, Petri Nets, Entity-Relationship Diagrams, Finite State 
    machines and the like.
   
    We are looking for a tool that simplifies the construction of some
    diagram editors. 
    Capabilities must include:

    - Grammar based diagrammatic conventions

    - Support of windowing, mouse input and icon selection

    - Simple user interface code generation

    Any product in the UNIX or PC world will be considered.

    Please respond by E-mail or follow-up in Comp.software-eng. In case
    of sufficient response I will post a summary.

    Thanks, Sjaak
