A graphical pascal extension based on graphical types

The goal of this paper is to present a graphical Pascal extension, named MIRA. This extension gives the user the means of defining and using specific graphical types. A complete vector arithmetic has been developed and a new structured type has been introduced: the figure type. Instructions to create and delete figures are discussed and it is shown how the graphical types can be used as other Pascal types. The implementation is carried out by a portable Pascal preprocessor.
