Abstract
One of the criticisms against schematic programming is the issue of ‘transparency transparency of the interface’.It was considered that changes and modifications of a visual program are not anywhere near as easy as editing text. In this chapter we will illustrate that this is not an issue and that editing schema is simple and easy; it is certainly as easy as text editing as provided by any program development environment.
