The development of a visual language requires a specification of its syntax and semantics and the implementation of a visual environment which embeds it. In the present paper we describe VLCC, a graphical system for the automatic generation of visual programming environments. We show that the system is able to support the development of complex real world visual languages which exhibit hierarchical aspects, such as State-charts and UML notations.
