Visual
Visual programming languages (VPLs) let programmers instruct computers by drawing for the computer images much like those seen in the mind when humans consider a solution to a certain problem. Programming is done using visual methods to express relationships among, or transformations to, data; methods include sketching, pointing, demonstrating via direct manipulation. The software then creates any needed lower-level code.
Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc., are not visual languages, but do use a few crude, primitive elements of visual programming.
