LabView / C

[Tom Impelluso]

Hello all...

Is there an accepted name for the type of programming
that LabView does?

For example: C/FORTRAN/Pascal... etc...
enable one to program.

With LabView I can similarly program...
with logical tests, loops, structures etc...

But w/ LabView, I use icons, and wiring tools...

Is there a name for this type of programming?
Graphical Programming maybe?

Tom, you are close. Labview is referred to as the 'G programming language' or just 'G'.

I think G is short for "Graphical" Programming Language.
