  • Method and apparatus for generating generic programming instructions using visual programming
    Patent number: 6216261
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating generic programming instructions using visual programming begins by providing a plurality of logical states that are interdependently related and include a set of programming options. When a programming option is selected, out of the set of programming options, for one of the plurality of logical states, the selected programming option is detected by a processing module. These programming options allow a user to change the characteristics of an image such as its color or brightness. Additionally, generic programming instructions corresponding to the selected programming option are provided to the user. The generic programming instructions are source code that is generated when a programming option is selected. With such a method and apparatus, generic programming instructions can be generated using visual programming that provides a set number of linked programming language blocks for use in video graphics processing.
